Positional Profile: SS/RHP
Body: 5-11, 180-pounds. Athletic look, well developed frame with room to continue to fill out.
Delivery: Up tempo, struggled with command at times. Effective when working down in the zone. feel for breaking ball on both sides of the plate

FB: T83, 79-82 mph. Arm side action, works to the inner half. T2190, 2045 average rpm.
SL: 70-74 mph. Generates several swing and misses when located down. Sweeping action, both sides of the dish T2128, 1963 average rpm.
CH: 71-74 mph. CH has some present drop. Slows down his tempo and arm speed to create the pitch. Just is a pitch that is young in its development. Different shape than his fastball, but without the addtional horizontal movement. Must work to stay inside that pitch long and kill spin with fastball arm speed and intent. T1827, 1716 average rpm.
CUT: 74-76 mph.
SPLT: Currently more of a firmer slider with rifle spin shape. Think it would be worth increasing his slider spin and velocity to maximizes his effectiveness on the mound.
