Scouting Report

5/24/2017 Long and lanky 6-foot-2, 175-pound left-handed pitcher. Short and quick arm action, with high-3/4 release and some effort in delivery. Smooth rhythm, working downhill, in-line direction, finishing athletically. Fastball velocity sat 84-86, touching 87 several times, did miss high and arm-side occasionally. Breaking ball at 69-70 mph showed good depth and potential to be an out pitch, got on side of pitch and did not finish. Tall, long, athletic build, as left-handed hitter showed simple quite approach consistently on time and in balanced hitting position. Quick hands with slight up-hill path.
