MD Scout Blog 5/17/18

A long and lanky frame that screams projection (6-foot-5, 175-pounds). Garnett has the potnetial to be a special pitching prospect and should be ranked very high once the MD 2021 rankings come out soon. There are a lot of moving parts in his up-tempo delivery slightly closed off and high leg kick. Garnett has a loose and quick arm action throwing from a low almost side slot. Fastball gets arm side run on the pitch to both sides of the plate. Fastball ranged from 79-84 and touched 85 in the fourth inning. Breaking ball shows put away potential but is inconsistent at the time. ranged from 66-74 mph. Slower ones were more get-ahead pitches and when he threw it in the 72 range, he had later break and did a few back-foot breaking balls on strikeouts. Showed feel for change up in warm ups, but did not see in game.

MD Preseason All-State 2/18/18

Long and lanky projectable frame at 6-foot-5, 185-pounds. Smooth build up style delivery with nice tempo and low hands that come up with lift. Involved high leg kick into hip load. Smooth lower half with average involement but foundation for more. Gets over front side well and works hips through. Loose arm action throwing from a lower three quarter slot. Creates fast arm speed that shows should make a nice velocity jump as he progresses. Bullpen was thrown with nice sync throughout. Fastball showed later run and sink to the pitch up to 81. Breaking ball had gradual action with 1/7 shape on the pitch. Shows potential to get better. Change up had fade to the pitch and showed feel with fastball arm speed.  Potential to be an impressive arm coming out of the 2021 class.
