Scouting Report

Breaking ball also showed tighter spin at 68-71 mph combined with a fading changeup at 71-74 mph.

11/18/18 Athletic 6-foot-1, 188-pound frame with room to continue to fill. Defensively displayed solid footwork on the infield as his hands worked out front, playing low through the baseball. Arm works well from a high slot as he threw 84 mph across the diamond with good carry. Switch hitter starting from tall stacked setup with loose rhythm in hands. Knee-to-knee type load with some length in stride before getting out on front side. Direct, flat path to the ball that produced an exit velocity of 89 mph. Ran a 7.26 60-yard dash.  Right-handed pitcher throwing from high-¾ release, with solid balance, and regular effort in delivery. Fluid rhythm with slightly tilted shoulders and in-line direction working down mound, finishes athletically. Fastball was commanded around the zone at 78-82 mph with angle when down in the zone. Breaking ball showed 11/5-shape with depth at 65-69 mph.

1/28/18 Average 6-foot, 160-pound frame with room to continue to fill.  Switch hitter starts from a stacked, slightly open stance with relaxed hands starting at shoulder height.  Quick leg lift as he loads back, triggering his hands down with short path to contact.
