5-foot-10, 170-pound ['athletic', 'lean']. Raw on the mound, showed quick arm speed, used a high ¾ arm angle with a short arm action. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Has a strong balance point with downhill shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 81-84 mph; has arm side command and sinking action with heavy movement. Had a 1/7 curveball 62-65 mph; that showed early action and consistent control, needs to be thrown with more fastball hand speed. His changeup was at 69-70 mph; had command low in the zone and fading action. The arm is quick and the baseball comes out of his hand well.

5-foot-10, 170-pound, average athletic frame, rounded shoulders, showing good strength for size. A right-handed hitting two-way player, showing very well off the mound. The delivery is simple, quick tempo from a hybrid start. Lift is athletic, sits on the backside, with drive to the  plate. The arm action is short and quick on the backside, working from a higher slot, gets on top and works down through. The stride is inline, with length, a firm frontside on foot strike. The fastball was clocked at 80-83 mph, showing bore action to arm side, a heavy ball. The breaking ball was at 64 mph, small wrap out of the hand, needs more fastball hand speed to it. Mixed in a true changeup at 71 mph, proper shape and spin to it, will work off the fastball. At the plate, a balanced approach, feet are even at shoulder width, hands are loaded, are back on foot strike. The swing is short to contact, hands are inside the baseball, an all fields approach, showed the ability to go opposite. The exit velocity was clocked at 85 mph, and ran a 4.43 down the line. From the outfield threw 87 mph, a downhill flight, approach was under control. Projects out for me off the mound, look for him to work with more velocity, arm is clean and powerful.

Exit Velocity: 85 mph

Arm Velocity: 87 mph

Home to 1st: 4.43

5-foot-10, 170-pound, average athletic frame, sloped shoulders, wider back. A two-way player, showed very well off the mound, pounds the zone with a three pitch mix. This right-handers delivery is simple, repeats it with ease, working from the set position the entire time, tilt to the gather, direction is inline, gets out over the frontside on release. The arm action is more of a bottom to top path, its clean with easy effort, working out of a high 3/4 slot. The fastball was clocked at 79 mph,with action to the arm side, lived in the bottom part of the zone. The breaking pitch has bigger break to it, clocked at 57 mph, needs to have more fastball hand speed. The changeup is a plus secondary pitch, fade and action to arm side, will be a swing and miss offering eventually.  At the plate, a right-handed hitter, even feet at shoulder width, quiet hands at the shoulders, with a tilted setup. The backside lower half provides some strength to the swing, swing path is level to up, finishing with two hands at shoulder height. The approach is more line drives, had a tee exit velocity of 81 mph and ran a 4.15 from home to 1st. Defensively, threw 83 mph from the outfield, attacks the baseball steps through gaining ground, clean transfer. Baseball comes out of his hand well. Look for him to jump off the bump at some point. 

Tee Exit Velocity: 81 mph
