SCOUTING REPORT
Underclass Games (September 18, 2016)
Cheeseman is big bodied at 6-foot 185-pounds. Pitching- Sat primarily 78-79 mph with fastball, curveball at 67 mph. Delivery is started by two quick steps into a quick leg lift. Quick tempo in the beginning is slowed down as leg lift descends. Throws from a high-3/4 angle. Gets good glove side leverage on first contact creating some torque in upper body as hips clear through. Long, loose arm swing. Offensively- Sets up with a slightly opened stance and loose fluid wrists. Uses a small leg lift/kick to start swing - weight transfer is visible. Load is smooth, hips clear the zone while hands are still cocked back. Swing is best and quickest when hands are close to body. Shows some lower body explosiveness, finishes on back leg.
