Positional Profile: OF
Body: 5-11, 140-pounds.
Hit: LHH. Active pre-pitch, tall start, barrel tip load, short stride. Long flat bat path. 60.1 mph bat speed with 6 G’s of rotational acceleration.
Power: 77 max exit velocity, averaged 69.3 mph. 248’ max distance.
Arm: LH. OF - 73 mph. Long arm action with some reach out the glove, high 3/4 slot.
Defense: Attacks the baseball at times, fields in rhythm and gains ground through release.
Run: 7.42 runner in the 60.
Positional Profile: LHP
Body: 5-11, 140-pounds.
Delivery: Simple delivery, repeats, high leg kick.
Arm Action: LH. Short, 3/4 slot.
FB: T74, 73-74 mph. Has some sink to it, throws for strikes, controls it to both sides of the plate. T1855, 1656 average rpm.
CB: 59-62 mph. Varied shape, developing pitch. T1870, 1847 average rpm.
SL: 61-62 mph. 2/8 shape, has depth to it, plays down in the zone, best of the offspeed. T1900, 1876 average rpm.
CH: 63-65 mph. Shows arm-side fade, some downer action at times. T1343, 1242 average rpm.
Easy moving body on the mound with room to build muscle. Works with a long, ¾ arm slot that is repeatable. Fastball was 72-74 mph, T75 mph which worked nicely with a deceptive upper-60’s slider. An occasional changeup at 67 mph was also used against right-handed hitters.
