Body Type: Projectable southpaw at 6-foot-4, 180-pound frame with the ability to carry added muscle. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Chest high leg lift with effort on the way down the mound. Directionally sound toward home with a firm front side. Arm stays on the backside for awhile before coming through a near ¾ slot. Fastball: Some natural run at 77-80 mph Spins at 1900-2100 rpm and high 90s efficiency. Curveball: Slows the arm down on a near 12/6 bender with gradual movement at 63-64 mph. Changeup: Above average offering that generated multiple swings and misses at 70 mph. Very effective in fastball counts. Pitchability: Ambush style of pitcher who tries to get ahead early and put guys away quickly. Showed ability to effectively use changeup in a multitude of counts.
1/26/19 Pitching
Body Type: 6-foot-4 180-pound prospect with a room to add strength to a projectable frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Fluid delivery, creates some deception with high glove side while working slightly across the body. Works out of a ¾ slot.
Fastball: 75-77 mph fastball showed occasional run when thrown to the arm side. Pitch had cutting action on the glove side.
Curveball: 61-62 mph curveball showed occasional sharpness with 1/7 tilt.
Changeup: 69-70 mph changeup is thrown with fastball arm speed while showing slight arm side run.
Pitchability: True three pitch mix. Shows ability to locate the fastball. Good feel for both secondary pitches. Breaking ball could be above average with improved hand speed.
Role: Still early, but could be a future starter. Good frame and feel for all pitches. Velocity should improve with maturity.
1/26/19
Body Type: 6-foot-4 180-pound prospect with room to add strength to a projectable frame.
Swing Mechanics: Starts in a medium, but very crouched setup. He uses a toe tap type load and then gets to a more upright position during his swing. Changing eye levels like this during his swing may negatively affect his consistency. Showed a decent ability to keep his barrel through the zone.
Hit: Solid barrel control and bat to ball ability.
Power: 89 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection: Presently shows the ability to be a potential gap to gap guy. Could definitely still get more raw power out of his swing.
Run: 4.52 home to 1st.
Throw: 75 mph throw across the diamond.
Field: Shows above average aggressiveness with his actions at 1B. Average footwork and feel.
Defensive Projection: At minimum checks the boxes of a potential 1B at the next level if the bat can carry him there.
