Director of Scouting

PBR Colorado strives to be the most comprehensive source of player information across the state. The Prep Baseball Report is the No. 1 resource for high school baseball in each state we cover through our variety of events, boots-on-the-ground scouting staff, daily coverage, and multimedia platforms. Our multimedia platforms and events work in tandem, ultimately creating the most powerful source of high school baseball promotion in each state. While other organizations take a national approach, our goal is to become the authoritative voice on the ground level of each state.

Scouting Report

2-25-18

6-foot-2, 170-pound LHP/OF. Lanky, left handed pitching prospect. Tall and fall delivery, high front side, in line landing, some athleticism in finish. Quick tempo, long, loose arm action, high ¾ slot, regular effort throughout. Fastball, arm side run, 82-84 mph. Curveball, 1/7 shape and sweeps when arm speed is maintained, 72-73 mph. Changeup had good fade, in the zone, ranged 74-76 mph.

 

8-5-17

A 6-foot-1, 160-pound left hand pitcher.  On the mound he uses a high balance position and a sink and drive motion to deliver an 83 MPH fastball.  There are a few pauses in his motion that allow for his body to come forward and land in-line with the plate.  He has a quick arm and shows good extension out front on his delivery.  Fastball location was down in the zone and lived on the outer half.  He also added a 64 MPH curve that dove hard in on the right hand hitter’s hands.  It was a very effective two pitch mix in the TPG.
