Scouting Report
10/21/17 - Max FB: 89, FB: 86-89, CB: 70-72, CH: 77-78
5-foot-10, 175-pound, RHP touched 89 twice while showing feel for throwing off-speed pitches for strikes. Short, athletic frame w/ present strength in lower half. From the wind-up, pitches with a rocker step into replacing drive foot on the first base side of the rubber. Balance point into separation w/ short in the back-arm circle and upright finish in high effort throw. Legs along for the ride, projects for velocity gain as he utilizes that strength. Quick arm w/ deception due to short in back. Occasional arm side run on FB, mostly straight. Medium downer CB is early breaker, average depth. Threw the CH w/ arm-speed, showing fade, occasional sink. Developing control, shows a feel for not missing in the middle of the plate. 14 of 25 for strikes with 3 of 9 swing and miss on FB. Very intriguing 2018 arm that is a must see for a school looking for a RHP.
10/7/17 - 5-10, 180-pound righty w/ quick arm, featuring FB up to 88. Short, athletic frame w/ physical projection. Pitches from a high effort full wind-up w/ ¾ release. Can engage his legs more, high velo ceiling. FB shows occasional arm side run, occasional ride through zone. CB got better as outing went deeper. Has a tendency to slow everything down. Slurve that flashed late break, potential swing and miss pitch w/ development. Mixed in a sidearm CH. Big uncommitted 2018 arm w/ present velo.
