Scouting Report

7/07/20

 

6-foot-2, 190 pound RHP with athletic frame. Uses long arm action and works through a high-3/4 slot. Quick arm with some effort in delivery. Works consistently with the fastball at 81-84 mph. Throws two breaking balls, a 64-67 mph curveball with depth, and a harder 73-76 slider with late break. Attacks hitters with the slider and will elevate the fastball on two strike counts. Also shows strength at the plate with a swing plane that creates natural lift. Flashes pull side power. High follow in the 2023 class with good upside, both on the mound and offensively.
