Bay Area World Series 2020 (BAWS) - Uncommitted; Lean bodied, been steadily getting taller/stronger over last few years. Has always shown attacking-strike throwing ability w/fearless approach and now the velo is creeping up as his arm speed has increased. Good stuff still ahead for him.

BAWS 2019 - High waist, very lean medium frame with some projection in the frame. Really pounded the zone with three pitches during his outings. Hands start at chest lifting over his head with high front knee having slow deliberate break as knee starts down; gains some ground down the hill with limited drive from back hip. Arm is long out of the glove with 3/4 release. FB 73-75 T77 staying away from hitters with the pitch. CHG 64-70 straight flashing bits of feel with the pitch. CB 63-67 with 11/5 actions having early loop; pitch flashed some sweep at the plate. Pitched to contact and allowed his defense to make plays.
6/01/18
at BAWS 2018 - Lean and slightly built at 5-foot-10 130-pounds. On mound uses slow, deliberate delivery with high knee as hands drop from chest; 3/4 release with compact circle. Fastball 70-72 mph with angle to glove side; limited ability to go arm side with the pitch. Curveball 60-62 mph with 11/4 shape and loopy, small depth at plate. High leg lift timing from balanced stance while keeping high back elbow; pull side approach showing leverage in swing.
