Scouting Report
11/12/16 - The stocky 5-foot-10, 195 pound RHP/3B shows solid two-way potential. Offensively, with a minimal load and small leg kick trigger he generates above average bat speed with a strong lower half. This generated some gap-to-gap power with an exit velocity of 86 mph. Little stiff on the mound, did repeat his delivery well. Arm speed was good, fastball ranged from 77-80 mph. Ball seemed to have good carry out of the hand, possible that more velocity is coming. Changeup was 73-74 mph with good fade and delivered from the same fastball window. Curveball 70-71 mph is currently an average pitch.
