1/20/20 Position Player

Power: Gap abilities.
Offensive Projection: Run producer.

1/21/19 Pitching

Body Type: 5-foot-9 150 pound prospect.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Threw from a ¾ arm slot and would seem to be able to get more velo out of his lower half.

Fastball: 72-75 mph fastball showed some sinking action to it.

Slider: 64-66 mph breaking ball showed a slider type action to it. He kept good arm speed on the pitch and created tight spin.

Changeup: 67-69 mph changeup was mostly true through the zone.

Pitchability: Solid 3 pitch mix with good command. The breaking ball is an above average offering.

Role: The breaking ball was the most advanced pitch of his mix. Shows the potential to be a really good pitch. Profiles more as a bullpen type who can lean on the quality of his breaking ball.


1/21/19
Body Type: 5-foot-9 150 pound prospect.

Swing Mechanics: Balanced stance into a leg kick load with simple hands.

Hit: Aggressive swing on a slightly downhill path. Would benefit from some added loft. Generated line drives to the middle of the field and flashed the ability to turn on the ball with authority.

Offensive Projection: Middle of the Lineup.

Run: 7.5 60-yard dash.
