Scouting Report
Scout Notes: 2023 NC Top Prospect Games:
Broad shoulders and strength in the lower half. Stands 6-foot-1, 210 pounds. Good feel for the fastball working to both sides of the plate and showing an ability to elevate. Fastball peaked at 87.2, 2178rpm. Solid ride and run with a 1:00 spin tilt at release. Breaking ball rolled through a 10/4 arc at 71-75, 2453rpm. Big horizontal break on the curveball at times. Strong arm with average to above arm speed. Medium arm swing works through an over-the-top slot.
Quick Hitters: 2023 NC/SC Border Battle
Physical presence. Strong build. 6-foot-1, 210 pounds. Advanced slider created swing and miss at 74-76, 2300rpm. Sharp, late side to side action that out ran the barrel. Fastball up to 88, 2000rpm. Average ride with some arm side run action. Showed feel for both sides of the plate and an ability to elevate to setup a more top to bottom breaking ball.
