Notes

Comments

6/03/19

Body Type: 6-foot-2 170-pound medium athletic build.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Tight arm action. Uses lower half but has more in the tank.
Fastball: 81-85mph. Pitch shows regular glove side action. 
Curveball: 68-71mph. 11/5 movement with sharp break.
Slider: 74-76mph. Sharp, well above average offering when in the zone. 
Pitchability: In/out. Needs to be more consistent in zone. Stuff itself is legit.
Additional Comments: Controls the running game well. Quick to the plate with a good pickoff move.

5/28/19

Body Type: 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with some projectability.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes:
Smoother delivery that has average to slightly above average athleticism to it.
Fastball:
82-87 mph. Impressive velocity considering he has a tendency to cut the fastball. If he learns to get behind the fastball he could see 2-3 more mphs easily.
Curveball:
72-75 mph. Nice wrinkle of an offering that travels on an 11/5 plane. More than playable.
Pitchability:
Strike thrower for the most part.
Additional Comments:
Not there yet but very has a big time chance once he incorporates lower half a bit more efficiently and gets behind the fastball. 
Body Type: 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame with some projectability.
Swing Mechanics: Compact and fluid stroke, path is level thru the zone. 
Hit: Bat stays thru the zone and found the barrel consistently. Spray the ball to all parts of the field.
Power: Line drive hitter who occasionally showed the ability to drive the ball into the gap. 80 mph exit velocity. 
Offensive Projection: Multiple roles. 
Run: 4.78 H to 1st
Field: Solid footwork and range. Doesn’t always play thru the ball when fielding. Glove is solid at this stage. 
Throw: Long arm action, presently below average arm strength at 74 mph across the diamond. 
Defensive Projection: Arm strength will likely limit him to the right side of the infield, or possibly a corner OF spot. 
Additional Comments: More of a contact hitter presently, should he add more strength we could see him drive the ball more consistently.

2/17/19

Body Type: 6-foot-1 170 strong, athletic frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Showed good lower half load with slight hitch at the top of leg lift. Showed a loose arm action with plus arm speed from an over the top slot.
Fastball: 80-83 mph. Fastball showed life through the zone stayed mostly straight. Showed arm side run and sink at times. Look for increase in velocity as strength continues to increase. 
Curveball: 71-73 mph. Plush offering with sharp, late 12-6 break.
Changeup: 71-73 mph with fading action through zone. Developing pitch that showed signs of being an above average offering when in the zone.
Slider: 71-72 mph. Developing pitch that showed good, sweeping action at times.
Pitchability: Fastball filled up the zone with ASR at times. Showed off a 12-6 curveball that has the potential to produce many swing and misses. Slider and change-up showed positive sign, but are continuing to develop. Above average athlete on the mound that showed the ability to command the strike zone with 2+ pitches. Athleticism and strength should lead to increase in velocity. High follow in ‘20 class.
