CB: 71-72 mph. slight action with 12/6 movement has harder action low in the zone

Greenwood High School, Class of 2021; 6-foot-2, 185-pound RHP/OF. On the mound, he was clocked sitting at 78-80 mph and topped out at 80 mph. He throws from a high ¾ arm slot while gaining power from his legs. His fastball displayed tilt and curveball showed consistent sharp action. He showed the most control on his curveball (67-70 mph) when he stayed on top. His changeup (75-77 mph) was most efficient when pitched in sequence with his fastball. He was able to locate mostly low in the zone
2/25/18: 60 Time: 7.87, Position Velocity: INF-76, Exit Velocity: 80
6-foot-1, 165 pound infielder hits from tall, open setup from the right side, hand load is stiff with top hand wrapped and barrell flat to start swing. Toe tap load, weight tends to leak forward on stride with partial lower half working through each swing. Level bat path through the hitting zone, produced line drives to middle-pull side, average bat speed for age. Good size and frame in the middle infield, lacks foot speed, slows to fielding position with stiff actions. Long exchange and delivery across the diamond with high ¾ arm slot, average arm strength for age, more strength and speed to be developed.
Pitching: High, OT arm action with long arm swing and deliberate delivery down the mound, struggles to stay over toes. Slight inward turn, front side spins open early with front foot landing open and shoulders/head yanking towards first base. Struggled to command and throw sharp breaking ball consistently. Ball and arm seen early, straight over the top. Fastball topped at 76, sitting 74-75 throughout, straight and all around the zone. Curveball had gradual 10/4 shape, backed up arm side and missed inner half, thrown at 64-67. Changeup was straight at 69-70.
6/27/17: 6-foot-1, 160 pounds. PITCHING: Long, loose high 3/4 arm action. Good balance, regular effort, tall/fall type delivery. Smooth rhythm, level shoulders. Good direction to the plate, lands square. Breaking ball has 11/5 downer type shape. Offensively, hits from a closed setup. Stride is short, average use of his lower half. Middle-to right-side approach. Level to slightly uphill swing plane. Found the barrel consistently during his BP round. Overall good defender with sure hands and fluid footwork. Exchange is clean, plays through the baseball.
