Scouting Report
06.19.17
Quick arm produced fastballs ranging 84-87 with cutting action on most. Thin build can handle strength. Coil in hips at balance. Lands slightly open, getting good extension through pitches. Gets inside the breaking ball and slows the arm slightly. Lacked consistent shape at 73-74.
01.28.17
Lanky, loose, and long limbs at 6-foot-3, 168 pounds. Best is yet to come. Fastball worked to 84 with a quick arm slotting at a high-3/4 spot from a long arm arc. Easy effort, while slightly coiled at balance, lands in-line from a smooth rhythm. Slider has advanced potential with late 10/4 action, ranging 74-75. Change worked up to 75.
