8/7/18 - Topped out at 89 mph at Area Code Games.
3/6/18 - Lambert is the top uncommitted 2019 arm in the state. Touched 87 with his fastball, sitting in the mid 80's, flashing a sharp curveball that projects as at least average. Loose hips can cause timing issues in delivery at times, but those are becoming more few and far between. Very clean arm action. Shows present strength in lower half with room get stronger in upper body. 
1/28/18 - Lambert’s 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame, loose arm, and clean delivery should make him one of the more sought after, uncommitted recruits in the 2019 class. Easily repeating an athletic delivery, Lambert drives strong off his back side while working down the mound before getting extension out front. His quick arm allowed his fastball to sit 84-86 for most of his outing and featured some arm side life. At times, he appeared to cut his fastball, but it worked for him as he was able to get in on right-handed hitters effectively. Releasing out of a high ¾ slot, Lambert was able to spin a tight 1/7 curveball at 72-74. Because it was so early in the preseason, the velocity may tick up a few counts higher in the spring. When spun at its best, the pitch appeared to have a high spin rate, and was sharp with two-tier break. Although he did not entirely command it on the day, the makings of an above average and possibly swing and miss pitch in the future were clearly present. The smooth southpaw immediately stands out with his polished mechanics, and I would expect multiple schools across the country to be following him closely throughout the spring as he could develop into a starter at the next level.
10/29/17 – 6-foot-2 185-pound frame. Strong lower half is much more developed than relatively narrow upper body. Possesses a very high ceiling and is one of the top uncommitted pitchers in Arizona’s 2019 class. Simple, compact delivery and clean arm action should be easy to repeat as he gains experience. High front side and shoulder tilt creates some plane and deception. Does exhibit some looseness in hips and at times lands slightly open which can create some timing and command inconsistencies. If this improves, Lambert has a chance to be an elite level prospect. 83-86 T87 fastball tended to cut when working to glove side and run when working to arm side. Curveball was 68-70 mph with 1-7 shape and flashed depth. Also showed a developing changeup at 80-81.
