Scouting Report
5.15.20
"The 6-foot-3, 186-pound 2022 right-hander has a quick, live arm and looks poised for big summer in 2020. Very projectable frame with long, loose arm action that works up to 3/4 slot. Live fastball at 84-88 with slight arm side action with good spin (2150-2330 rpm via Stalker). Around the zone, but tough pitch to handle when buried inside on right handed hitter. Flashes a high-upside slider at 74-76 with two plane depth and late bite. Spins it at 2350-2479 rpm (via Stalker) and looks to be a put away pitch. Kept hitters off balanced by going FB in to RHH then tunneling SL backdoor, showed ability to beat bats up in the zone. Easily a top 50 prospect in TN, but expecting to rise up in 2020." -Colton Provey
