6/05/23

Aurora commit. Stands at a strong 5-foot-10, 185-pounds. Started on the mound for the Spartans in their 3A super-sectional game. Stretch-only delivery, throws with intent and effort downhill, finishes  on a strong lead leg that lands in-line. Compact arm action with high ¾ release. Fastball touched 87 mph in the first, sat 83-86 mph throughout, working mostly straight. Mixed in a curveball that sat 73-76 mph with 11/5 shape, swing-and-miss pitch, 2300 rpm spin rate. An impressive look from the senior headed to Aurora University.
