Big bodied hurler at 6-foot-3, 210-pounds who maintained being considered one of the top velo arms for his class. Moderate arm speed through upper 3/4 slot. Has some effort and some funk in delivery. Fastball sat at 87-88 with some run action, but command with command up and down in the zone. However, in our third time seeing him, he has continued to show progress with his off-speed pitches. Curveball has downward tilt (73-74 mph). Also showed better command of a 75 mph with some sink to it.

6-foot-3, 210-pound right-hander projects as a pitcher at the next level. Big, physical frame. Throws through high ¾ to over the top arm slot with quick arm speed. Some stiffness in his back arm action. Sat 86-88 mph and touched up to 90 mph. Shows some funk to his delivery. Needs to be consistent with lower half to help his repeatability. Also uses a 72 mph breaking ball. Defensively, reached a top velocity of 80 mph across the field. Long reach. Needs to continue improving footwork around the bag. At the plate, he starts with a slightly open stance. Uses a short stride and strong lower half. Raw power at this point. Registered a top exit velocity of 84 mph.

6-foot-3, 205-pound pitching prospect with big, solid frame. Throws with short, stiff arm action. Delivery requires some effort. Fastball sat at 85-88 mph with some run to it. Also showed a 71-73 mph breaking ball with 11/5 action. Needs to continue developing his changeup, which fluctuated between 73-77 mph with similar run to his fastball.
