Comments

7/18/19

Body Type:  6-foot, 160-pound thin frame.

Swing Mechanics:  Simple load with minimal movement.  Hands stay loaded through contact.

Hit:  Level bat path with works inside the baseball well, and produces backspin to the opposite field.  Swings with intent.

Power:  Line drive guy right now.

Offensive Projection:  TBD.

Field:  Uses a controlled rhythm to feet throughout fielding sequence. Ball skills are on par for his class.

Throw:  Over the top arm slot, and throws with a lot of intent.  Good carry on his throws.

Defensive Projection:  Corner outfield.

 

Body Type: 6-foot, 160-pound athletic build.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: High effort guy. Static two piece delivery with a slight pause at break point. Throws from a ¾ arm slot with some good arm speed.

Fastball: 73-78 mph. Downhill plane with slight glove side movement.

Curveball: 64-67 mph. 11-5 shape with late break.

Changeup: 65-69 mph. Offering has some fade thrown with fastball like arm speed.

Pitchability: Inconsistent at times during his bullpen. Could benefit by getting the fastball out of his hand earlier. Arm to keep an eye on.

7/01/19

Body Type:  6, foot, 160-pound athletic frame.
Swing Mechanics:  Big leg kick that engages his hands well, and gets everything in sync well.
Hit:  Aggressive swinger with a pull side approach in BP. Ball jumps off well for such a young prospect. Bat to follow as he has much more physical maturaiton left.
Power:  Line drive guy right now. 78 mph off the bat in BP.
Offensive Projection:  TBD.
Field: In the outfield he plays with aggressive feet. Confident actions. Ball skills appear to be ahead of the curve for class.
Throw: Near over the top right-hander with some jump out of the hand. More to come with maturity.
Defensive Projection: TBD.

6/18/19

Body Type: 6-foot, 160-pound slim, projectable build.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: The righty prospect gets the most out of his slim build with an athletic, strong delivery. Good feel for his body as he moves through a tall and fall motion toward the plate. The prospect stays tall through the motion into high ¾ delivery. Smooth arm action.
Fastball: 72-78. Comes in from a high delivery and stays through the zone. Average spin rate and efficiency allows for solid command and good control consistently around 74, topping at 78.
Curveball: 64-67. 11/5 with gradual big break, early break. Average control with a solid mix into different counts. The breaker provides a solid mix keeping the hitters off balance consistently around 66.
Pitchability: Expect some growth and potential development down the road. Average for class now.

 

Body Type:  6-foot, 160-pound thin frame.

Swing Mechanics:  Small leg kick that engages his entire body while keeping his hands loaded until contact.

Hit:  Downhill bat path that works to the pull side.  Natural ball flight to the middle of the field.

Power:  Produces above average bat speed and flashed pop to the pull side.  More to come as he develops and adds size.

Offensive Projection:  TBD.
Field: In the outfield he plays under control too while picking up tempo a bit prior to fielding. Nice, quick play through with average ball skills.
Throw: Near over the top right-hander with developing strength.
Defensive Projection: Corner Guy.

3/03/19

Body Type: 5-foot-11, 150-pounds with average lengthy build

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: He starts upright on the mound with a simple delivery. He uses a small leg kick and throws from a short armed ¾ slot. Has decent weight transitions as he gains little ground with his front leg

Fastball: FB is straight out of his hand (70-76)

Curveball: CB is developing with sharp 12/6 break (57-59)

Changeup: CH has downward movement with little depth (61)

Pitchability: Looks the part on the mound with all his off speed having some movement. All his offerings stay around the zone

Role: Starter

Additional Comments: Velocity and command will increase with refinement of mechanics

 

Hit: Starts with a high leg kick and little to no load with hands. Has good weight transitions and is explosive out of load. He swings with intent and showed the ability to drive the baseball during BP.

Power: Line drive producer with good pop. (86 exit velocity)

Offensive Projections: Middle of the order

Run: 7.89 (60-yard dash)

Field: Has average arm strength from OF, with carry on throws. He plays behind the ball with some softness in his hands. Has clean transitions but tends to field the ball like an infielder

Defensive Projection: OF (Potential dual guy with refinement of mechanics from OF)

2/9/19
Body Type: Very projectable at 5-foot-11, 150-pounds.
Swing Mechanics: Upright stance. Uses a leg kick for timing as hands stay mostly quiet through load and into launch.
Hit: Wiry strong hitter with a compact, downhill swing. Path causes minor inconsistencies in barrel accuracy/would be added by adding some loft to stroke. Worked all fields in BP, staying on the ground and low line drives. Swing offers more present strength than speed.
Power: Line drive guy with much more to come as he adds loft and fills out very projectable frame. 83 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection: Young hitter whose role will be determined as he develops physically.
Run: 7.88 60-yard dash.
Field: Worked out at first base where has a solid skill set and the frame for the position. Plays with fluidity and ball skills on par for class. Should grow into an above average defender over there.
Throw: High-¾ right-hander with much more to come. 74 mph arm strength across the diamond.
Defensive Projection: 1B

 

2/9/19 Pitching
Body Type: 5-foot-11, 150-pounds. Lean athlete with room to add.  
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Showed an over the top arm slot with a shorter arm action finishing out his delivery. Working on his lower half engagement as he activates hips and fires down the mound.
Fastball: 72-77mph. Has some slight run to it arm-side. Better command from the stretch position.
Curveball: 61-62 mph. Produces a high breaking action with is that sowed 11-5 movement and an average ability to locate it.

Changeup: 65-69 mph. Presents it with nice sinking action behind it with some lighter glove-side run. Commanded this pitch very well.  
Pitchability: Has a lean build to his frame with plenty of years to fill into his body. With that, strength will progress and add velocity as he throws more. The program he pitches for well help him meet his goals and further develop his skills no doubt.
Role: TBD for now.
