2/22/20 Position Player

2/17/19

Body Type: 6-foot-3 165-pound right-handed pitching prospect with a projectable frame.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Quick tempo delivery that has some funk to it. Balanced through lift with level shoulders and good direction down the mound Works out of a ¾ slot.

Fastball: 66-68 mph fastball shows occasional late sink and run.

Curveball: 50-53 mph curveball has a near 12/6 shape. The pitch shows early and has a gradual break.

Knuckleball: 49-51 mph knuckleball occasionally flashed light rotation and started to dance around the zone.

Pitchability: Fastball shows some late action but was often left up in the zone. Breaking ball has good shape but is more of a get over pitch at this stage. Threw strikes with the knuckleball.

Swing Mechanics: Starts in a medium set up and uses a leg kick to initiate his load. Slightly casts his barrel. Takes a somewhat uphill bat path to the ball.

HIt: Good barrel control and bat to ball ability.

Power: 86 mph exit velocity
Offensive Projection: Took one of the better rounds of batting practice at the event. Shows above average raw power for a 2022 with a solid swing and good ability to make solid contact. Should at least develop into a formidable gap to gap power threat while in high school.

Throw: 71 mph from the outfield.

Run: 4.91 home to first.

Defensive Projection: Presently would project as a corner OF guy, probably exclusively as a LF.
