Body: 6-0, 200 lbs. Medium build with a more filled-out upper half.
Mechanics: Exclusive from the stretch. Uses a medium knee lift. Lower half works in good direction towards home. Average stride length. Finishes in a good fielding position. Compact arm action in the back that comes out of a lower elbow ¾ slot. Average arm speed.
FB: Good movement characteristics. Plenty of asr shown with 14.4 inches of horizontal break.
CB: Slurvy break due to present horizontal break. Sharp break. Good feel for it in the zone.
CH: Similar asr to the FB but has some downward fade. Lower spin at around 1000 gives it its downward movement.

Body: 5-foot-11, 180-pounds. Long legs, broad body type w/some present strength, frame composition to hold future strength Delivery: LHP - All from stretch, stable over the rubber while lifting knee above waist, calm out of glove as starts arm action, on line stride with stable foot strike slightly closed and providing ability to create leverage, backside comes through well, somewhat tall and fall, there is some hidden power in there with some slight adjustments over the rubber Arm Action: Clean shallow circle on backside, keeps ball hidden well behind body, consistent release point from overhand slot FB: 69-72, T73 mph - Avg 1705 RPM, T1848 - Slight late slippery movement late in zone on arm side, confident going inside to RHH, can create sink, went in well vs LHH as well CTR: 64-66 mph - 1406-1498 RPM - Best when used vs LHH, has more depth than traditional CTR similar to a slider, likes to use it, did a nice job keeping it down in the zone CHG: 67 mph - 1268 RPM - Mixed in only one, left up, looks to be a pitch he's working on getting comfortable with
