Scouting Report

 

5/3/16- South Dakota State commit. 6-foot-1, 180-pound left-handed pitcher. Long arm action, occasionally turns over early, tendency to open glove side. Fastball ranged 82-87 mph with arm side run, flashed slight cut action going to his glove side. Curveball played on 1/7 plane, 67 mph. Changeup fades at 74 mph. Can be a tough at bat, rarely throws the same pitch twice, can be effectively wild with action is the hitting zone.

 

 

6-foot-1, 180-pound left-handed pitcher. Projectable body and arm. Simple controlled delivery on mound. Tends to land open; creating slingy action on pitches. Fastball comes out of hand easy with little effort. Fastball is downhill with life showing late run for strikes. 2/8 shape on breaking ball flat action. Changeup is thrown near fastball arm speed with sink. Shows ability to throw 3 pitches for strikes. Mechanics and breaking ball need to be cleaned up; but overall has high ceiling. Could be fast riser going to summer.
