Physical: 6-2, 170 pounds; Long, slender build.
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a long stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while showing no restrictions; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 88 MPH, while sitting 84-88 MPH; life out of the hand with some arm side run. CB: 71-72 MPH; 11-5 shape. SL: 71-74 MPH; 2-tier break. Fastball boars in to both sides of the plate; high spin slider with swing and miss profile.
Physical: 6-foot-2, 170 pounds; Long, lean build. 7.07 runner in the 60.
Offensively: RHH. Even setup, with feet just outside his shoulders; upright bat position. Loads straight back with an up and down stride for timing. Drifts into contact while showing an average effort from the legs. Showed a short swing path with a two handed finish. More line drives than flyballs and groundballs with a peak exit velocity of 93 MPH via Trackman.
Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Belt high leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Moderate arm swing while showing effortless and fluid actions; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 88 MPH, while sitting 85-88 MPH; commands both sides. CB: 72-75 MPH; showed depth. SL: 74-78 MPH; lateral action. Showed the ability to throw all three pitches in zone. They all tunnel off eachother which allows swing and miss outside of the strike zone with breaking balls.
Physical: Lean, lengthy 6-foot-1, 160lb frame with projection on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started tall off the middle of the rubber, creating leverage throughout an adequate tempoed, repeatable delivery. Landed athletically into footstrike, releasing at H ¾ slot with a slight hitch; mixed a firm 80-83 mph FB for strikes to both sides of the plate. Landed a gradual, lateral SL at 1627rpms, sweeping heavily across the plate and then added a quality, fading 76-78 mph CH with killed spin and command to LHH. Able to throw any pitch in any count from a simple, strike-throwing operation.
