Scouting Notes: 

An easy fastball and repeat-able delivery flashed a quick hand.  At 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, with a strong, athletic build, Lambeth topped at 86 and sat 84-86 with ease.  The delivery loads at balance with decent rhythm.  The shoulders work uphill to provide some leverage before finishing slightly open with good direction.  Lambeth's change-up and curveball both worked with near fastball hand-speed.  The change sat 74-77, while the curveball ranged 68-71.
