60: 6.96 OF Velo: 73 Exit Velo: 73

5 foot 9, 140-pound RHH continued to showcase speed in the field, profiling as CF.  Short athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, some physical projection. Offensively, showed a tall, slightly open stance w/ short hand action and leg kick/ high two hand finish. Tended to get a bit steep in his swing. Defensively, ranged well in the OF with enough speed and arm strength to play CF. Collected a single in game action. May profile best as pitcher. 

Max FB: 79 FB: 76-78 CB:67-69 

5 foot 9, 140-pound RHP showed slight velocity dip from February. Short athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, some physical projection. Pitches from full-wind up into H 3/4 slot. Uses quick pace in windup w/ momentum building first step, tends to rush delivery pace leaving some velo in the tank.  Short, quick arm stroke w/ stab back swing, generating good spin and release accuracy.  Seemed to be throwing harder CB with good downer movement/proper shape.  Did not show changeup.  Promising arm with smoothed out rhythm and delivery.

2/3/19 - Max FB: 80, FB (77-80), CB (59-62), CH (65-67)

5-9, 140-pound righty showed a 3-tick velocity jump from last fall.  Short, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, some physical projection.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the third base side of the rubber.  Simple, repeatable delivery w/ quick arm, short arm-stroke.  Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run.  Big downer CB w/ proper shape/rotation, best used to steal a strike.  CH w/ short cut.  Around the zone w/ 3-pitch mix, projects to command

2/3/19 - 60: 7.03, OF Velo: 82, Exit Velo: 75

5-9, 140-pounder shows intriguing arm strength and speed, showcasing a potential CF profile depending on how his frame develops.  Short, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, some physical projection.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, very slightly crouched stance w/ short hand rhythm into short leg kick and low hand load.  Learning to repeat the same swing every-time.  Can get a little steep into the hitting zone.  Learn to get lower and upper halves in sync, lower half can occasionally cause him to over-rotate and pull off the ball.  Projectable gap power as frame develops.  Defensively, shows projectable speed to play in CF w/ projectable arm strength and repeatable arm stroke.  May end up profiling best on the mound.

10/21/18 - 7.44 60, OF: 72, Exit Velo: 75

5-9, 140-pound OF shows a line-drive oriented bat, but likely projects best on the mound.  Short, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength.  Super projectable.  Has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, slightly crouched stance w/ occasional short hand rhythm into shift of weight and hanging leg kick or an occasional toe tap.  Would benefit from some hand separation to create a better attack angle to the baseball.  Lot of line drives when right.  Singles hitter at this stage w/ projectable gap power.  In the OF, shows solid footwork w/ projectable carry to target arm strength.

1/15/18 - Max FB: 77, FB: 75-77, CB: 56-60, CH: 65-66
5-foot-9, 140-pound, RHP shows feel for 3 pitches, waiting on physical development.  Short, lean, athletic frame w/ little present strength.  Pitches from a full wind-up w/ short rocker step into back foot reset and chest high leg kick from the middle of the rubber.  Drifts forward w/ proper hand break, slightly upright finish w/ low ¾ release.  Drifting forward creates timing issues w/ front foot landing and arm getting through the circle.  Back leg is along for the ride, can drive down the rubber to use more and help velocity.  Lands slightly open w/ front foot towards LHH on deck circle, can keep hips online more to create delivery consistency.  Loose arm works well, learning body to repeat delivery.  FB shows occasional arm side run.  CB is big w/ proper shape, learning to keep fingers on top for break consistency.  CH shows arm-speed w/ a little fade and sink.  Bit of a thrower right now, as develops consistency in lower half and is consistently on-time, projects to throw strikes.

1/15/18 - 60 Time: 7.82, Position Velocity:  OF-78, Exit Velocity: 72
5-foot-9, 140-pound, RHH showed projectable arm strength in the OF.  Short, lean, athletic frame w/ little present strength.  Offensively, hits from a straight on, slightly crouched stance w/ back shoulder hand location.  Shift of weight, thigh high leg kick and short hand load.  Hips leak w/ some late head movement.  Learning to repeat swing.  Pull oriented approach.  Defensively, moves well in the OF w/ good footwork and carry to target.  Young athlete just needs to gain strength.
