Scouting Report

6/25/19

 

Whippy ¾ slot that showed a very quick arm and legit ASR into RH hitters. Showed solid feel with a nice 3 pitch mix. The slider showed really nice spin and the changeup really tumbled into RH hitters. This is a high upside ‘21 RHP. The FB was up to 83 mph with action and the power slider was 73 mph. The change up sat 74-76 mph in both innings. RHP that has really made significant strides since last year.

 

 

Austin Cornelius (2021, RHP, Hoover) 6’2 160 lbs- 7.10.18- threw 2 innings during game play and was very effective with the ability to mix three pitches for strikes. He does a  good job of hiding the ball from hitters. His fastball showed late life at 77-78 and topped at 79 with very good ASR, His changeup sat at 71-72 and his breaking ball was more of a slider with tight spin at 66-69. His most interesting pitching is a 2 seam fastball with run but tons of sink. Understands where to be and was always backing up where he was supposed to be during the game.
