Posted a T86 mph bat-exit velocity during his round, wrapping a couple swings for distance over the 300 foot mark (309 best). High intent lower half action in the box. 

Defensively: The outfielder demonstrated moderate pace and played behind the baseball. Fielded off his right foot and gathered the frame before releasing from a loose H ¾ slot to the target (80 mph).

Pitching: LHP. The southpaw features a big drop step before swinging leg up to a higher position and getting over the front side at release. Efficient delivery that works downward into the zone, up to 84 mph on the FB. Really spun the CB at 2677rpms, gaining swing miss when challenging (9 inches HM average). Faded a good CH back the other way with 16 inches of movement.

Pitching: LHP - The southpaw began off the middle of the rubber with a slow-tempoed delivery. Paused at times in the side rocker, finding his footing before coming to an even stack position at the waist. Held good direction down the slope and was able to repeat, allowing for the FB to spot up arm-side at 79-81 mph. Mixed a plus 66-69 mph breaker on a 1/7 tilt with two-plane shape and up to 2746rpms. Still working to get additional fade on the CH, which worked at 1944rpms and sat in the low 70’s.

On the mound, Bolla works out of mid 3/4 arm slot with FB sitting 60-62 mph and demonstrating some arm side run. CB sitting 52-54 mph displayed 1-7 shape with rolling action. CH continues to be work in progress with tendency to slow arm and get around the pitch. Mechanically, there is early transfer of weight. Benefit would be gained from staying over back side longer.
