Scouting Report
6-foot-1, 195 pound RHP. Athletic, well-proportioned frame. Works through a high-3/4 slot with medium arm action. Occasional effort. Quick arm. Fastball worked 85-87 with impressive average spin rate of 2411. Curveball was 69-71 with average spin rate of 2310. At it's best curveball shows 11/5 shape and solid depth. Flashes a well above average changeup at 73-76 with sink and fading action and has good feel for the pitch. Lawson is a 2022 high follow. He will take the mound for Team Kentucky at this fall's Border Battle.
