6-foot-1, 165-pounds right-handed pitcher who we are seeing for a second time since March. Coming off an excellent spring campaign, he threw the ball well at our event. The fastball touched 85 mph with arm side action to it. The breaking pitch is slurvy, sitting at 75 mph. I believe there is more spin in his breaking pitch as he slows the ball hand down when he throws it. The pitch could be a dominate one at the next level. The changeup is a work in progress. The delivery is out of the stretch, forward lean at lift and a long arm path on the backside. The tracking of the front shoulder and staying closed to foot strike is done appropriately. The arm is fast and he can spin it, good prospect for me.

6-foot-1, 185-pound right-hander out of the Antonelli Baseball program. Pitches out of a higher than ¾ arm slot. The arm is free and clean. Small cup of the hand on the backside of the arm swing, but the extension and quickness out front is excellent.  The tracking of the front shoulder needs to improve , as he runs away from his arm a bit as he gets into foot strike. The lift is athletic, repeated and has a small coil at the top of it.  The fastball touched 83 mph, good life and arm side run to it. The breaking ball is filthy, hard and sharp at 11/7 rotation. The pitch is a serious out pitch, sits at 76 mph. The changeup is a work in progress, needs to have something soft to go along with a hard fastball and plus spin pitch. The changeup is 81 mph, needs  grip tweak to lessen velocity. Keep an eye on this guy as we get into summer, more than likely, upper 80’s guy with nasty spin. Very good follow.
