Lizarraga

August 2015- Committed to University of Iowa

Lizarraga gained strength and weight through senior season. In appearance at Iowa State Baseball Tournament sat 90-94 mph with ability to locate an above average breaking ball.

6-foot-4, 195-pound 2 way player.  4.62 home to first time.  Right handed hitter, long levers, active hands in load, ball jumps on contact, stays gap to gap.  87 mph exit velocity off tee.  Due to summer work load took BP and pitched.  Did not catch during event.  On the mound, stagnant hands, simple balanced delivery with athleticism, compact arm with looseness out front.  Fastball shows late life.  Athletic enough to be competitive with secondary pitches; lack polish right now.  Overall highly projectable pitcher who should see velocity jumps with physical development.  Fastball 84-87.  Curveball 72-74.  Changeup 76-77.
