Peyton Mannering: RHP/1B, (2022) Loveland, OH. 6-foot, 185-pound. On the mound, showed developing arm speed with a high ¾ arm angle and a compact arm action. Up-tempo type pitcher who shows some effort. Has a consistent balance point. Changeup (71-72 mph). Threw his fastball 80-83 mph; had running action with tight movement. Threw a 11/5 curveball (61-63) with gradual action. 

Body Type: 6-foot, 160-pound thin frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Projectable arm with room to fill. Fluent delivery through a lower ¾ arm slot. Uses a high leg kick to generate lower half momentum. Average arm speed with a long arm action. Tall and fall type delivery.
Fastball: 74-77 mph. Slight arm side movement consistently in the zone. Velocity should increase as frame fills out.
Curveball: 58-59 mph. 11-5 movement with gradual break.
Changeup: 68-70 mph. Solid change of pace with some fade. Thrown with fastball like arm speed.
Pitchability: Fills up the zone with the fastball. Needs to be more consistent with the secondary offerings.

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

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Long arm action. Back leg dips down during leg lift giving a dip and drive look. Front leg goes straight home and not down and around.

Fastball: 71-74mph. Slight arm side run being in the zone consistently.

Curveball: 57-58mph. 11/5 movement with more depth than action. In and out of the zone.

Changeup: 66-67mph. Slight arm side drop. Offering was in and out of the zone used sparingly.

Pitchability: In the zone consistently with fastball. In the zone some of the time with curve.

Swing mechanics:  Big leg kick with little hand movement.  Everything gets into sync and remains loose and athletic.

Hit:  Downhill bat path with a middle-back approach.

Power:  Flashes of pop with more to come as he develops and adds size.

Offensive projection:  TBD.
Field: Uses quiet feet in his appraoch in the infield. Hands are soft. Plays from heels at times. Ball skills are developing.
Throw: High-3/4 right-hander with present accuracy.
Defensive Projection: Corner Guy.

2/16/19

Body Type: 6-foot 150-pound prospect.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Throws from a low ¾ arm slot with some natural deception and ‘funk’ to his delivery. Could clean up his arm action.

Fastball: 70-74 mph fastball was mostly true through the zone.

Breaking Ball: 54-59 mph breaking ball showed slurvey shape with some depth and a little bit of bite.

Changeup: 61 mph changeup was mostly true through the zone.

Pitchability: Solid feel for his three pitch mix.

Role: Present stuff would probably fit best in the bullpen but he does show good potential for a 2022.

Body Type: 6-foot, 155 pounds. Tall, lanky frame.
Swing Mechanics: Wider stance presenting a no-stride swing to go along with his level bat path.

Hit: Made average contact as he timing improves to allow for more solid barrel contact later on.
Power: 77 mph exit velocity. Has more backside power with middle potential shown.
Offensive Projection: Multiple as he progresses over the next few years.

Run: 4.78 seconds home to first.
Field:  Glovework showed playable actions for his age. Footwork is developing with lateral movement and flow. Plenty of time for his progression defensively.
Throw: 68 mph across the diamond with longer arm action and accuracy.
Defensive Projection: First base for now but growth to come.
