8/08/19

5 foot 9, 155-pound average build.  Hits from a right side with a balanced setup with his chest, leaning over his feet.  Leg kick during his load with an average stride.  Hands get through the zone with some quickness.  Gap to gap approach with some feel for the barrel.  Average bat speed with his exit velocity recorded at 82 mph.  Plays through balls in the outfield with average hands.  Clean exchanges with a long arm action, throwing from an over the top slot.  Some accuracy to his throws that topped at 79 mph.  Recorded a 7.52 in the 60.

08.25.18

Average 5-foot-9, 145 pound frame.  Quickness exist and should improve with continued maturation.  Ran a 7.31 sixty with a good burst off the line.  Loose and fluid in the outfield, playing through the ball with some athleticism.  Clean exchanges to an average arm swing and high-3/4 slot.  Some feel for direction on the throws, registering 77 mph out of the hand with average carry.  Right handed hitter works from an opens stance, striding back to even.  Early timing with the foot strike.  Swing path can get long and sweep through the zone.  Average bat speed and barrel awareness.  Pull side emphasis as the hands can cast around the ball at times.  A better lower half and bat speed should come with added strength.  Exit velocity of 80 mph off the barrel. 
On the mound repeats the delivery with a stable head and good position.  Around the zone with three pitches.  Works level and on-line, landing square, slightly across his body, producing solid rhythm throughout.  Long arm swing to an over-the-top slot.  Quick hand.  Fastball runs to the arm side late at 72-74.  Change-up pounded the down zone with average hand speed, occasionally slowing vs. the fastball.  Early arm side run at times, ranging 63-64.  Breaking ball sat 63-64 tunneling with the fastball at its best.  An occasional hump out of the hand with 11/5 tilt.

08.27.17
Average build at 5-foot-8, 130 pounds.  Some quickness exists, with a good burst in the sixty and turning in a 7.46.  Has rhythm and some athleticism on approach in the outfield.  Easy transition to an over-the-top slot with an arm speed measured at 76 mph from right field.  Some shoulder restriction on finish.  Accuracy can improve with carry.  Right handed hitter starts balanced.  Simple approach, with a shot stride, repeats the swing.  Down early with the stride.  Some barrel awareness as he works to stay on top of the ball and in the middle of the field.  Exit velocity peaked at 75 off the barrel.
Around the zone with all three pitches on the mound.  Over-the-top slot produced a straight fastball at 71-73, touching 74.  Change acts as second pitch with good hand speed and fade at 66-69.  Feel for the pitch, missing down and on-line, when missing.  Breaking ball ranged 65-68 with inconsistent shape, spinning at times.  Looking for 11/5 action.  Works level and on-line with some rhythm and normal effort.
