Brandon
Coontz

6/6/18
A lean and proportional 6-foot, 175-pound frame. On the mound, the right-hander works from a slightly uptempo delivery with a high leg kick, falling to the dish before striding out. Arm action has length in the back with a quick change of direction at the bottom of the arm stroke before coming through a high-¾ slot with some arm speed. Fastball keeps its plane at 79-81 and touches 82 mph. Seems to have deception as it jumps on hitters. Curveball has some depth with 11/5 shape at 69-71 mph. In the game, Coontz filled up the zone, allowing a hit to the first batter he faced before retiring the next three, including a punchout.  

A 6-foot, 175-pound proportional frame. Offensively, the right-handed hitter bats from a slightly knock-kneed set-up with rhythm throughout. Uses a short stride with a late heel plant before launching his hands on a flat path to contact with a high finish. In BP, shows a flat and middle of the field approach, some barrels, 72 mph exit velo. Runs a 7.02 second 60. Defensively, shows above average footwork and some softness in his hands. Throws with a moderate arm stroke through a high-3/4 slot with some accuracy at 79 mph across the diamond. In the game, went 0-for-2.
