Scouting Report

2018 PBR Future Games- Bulldog mentality on the mound working quickly and coming at hitters from a high ¾ slot. The FB sat consistent at 85-86 with late life. The BB had good 10-4 shape; covering two planes and came in consistently firm at 74 mph. Day’s power CH was also featured at 79-80 with short, hard arm side cutting movement.

7/8/18- 6-foot-2, 165-pound, athletically-built right-handed pitcher. Highly-athletic, repeatable delivery, worked on-line and with rhythm. Short, compact, clean arm action, high ¾ slot. Fastball sat 83-84 mph throughout, worked mostly straight, cutting action at times. Threw his breaking ball often and in any count. Swing-and-miss offering with above-average feel, tight, late break, 72-75 mph. Went to his changeup only a few times, sat 76-77 mph. Final Line: 7 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 8 K, 0 BB. High-follow 2020 pitcher with more in the tank.

3/17/18- 6-foot-2, 163-pound right-handed hitting 2-way player. Day’s short, quick arm makes the ball look like its gets on the plate quicker than the radar gun may read. He is aggressive down the mound which also helps the fastball play up even harder. The pitch cut, somewhat, at 82-84, and he countered it with an advanced, power-changeup that was thrown with fastball hand speed and featured late sinking action at 78-79. He also featured a tighter slider at 74-75 with short break that has a chance to be an above average pitch moving forward. Standing 6-foot-2, 165-pounds, Day has wiry strength on an athletic frame, and should continue to fill out in the future. Day’s velocity will likely be up even higher this summer as his arm continues to get into shape throughout the spring. 7.12 runner with 80 mph exit velocity and 86 mph arm from outfield. Open stance, leg kick trigger, some length to contact, athletic in box with hard contact to middle of field. Aggressive routes in field, above avg. arm, plays through ball, raw with 2 hands to field, accurate with carry to target.

 

7/31/17- 6-foot-2, 160-pound right-handed hitting 2-way player. On mound; lean athletic build, clean compact arm action, lands upright and falls down mound occasionally. Fastball was 79-82 mph with riding life and late run into RHH. Has feel for 11/5 curveball, solid shape, with late short break. 4.52 home-to-first time. Tall stance, leg kick trigger, uphill path with length to contact, solid contact to pull side gap, 81 mph exit velocity. Solid athlete, raw fielding mechanics, quick release, avg. accuracy and carry to target, 81 mph arm from outfield.
