Body: 5-10, 175-pounds. Stocky and sturdy build, low effort, starters stamina. Delivery: Compact delivery, keeps glove and ball tight to body, 90 degree leg lift balance and glove side staying closed key to success. Finishes toward homeplate, head inline with target, average extension. Arm Action: RH. Consistent arm speed from medium swing with low effort overall. Arm has trouble catching up when sitting to much on the backside. Consistent arm slot for breaking ball. FB: T82, 79-80 mph. Commanded fastball throughout the zone, staying on top key to success. CB: 69-71 mph. Solid spin and velocity curveball, can get swings and misses. Would probably benefit from more and mixing consistently in any count. CH: 74-75 mph. Show me change, decent velocity and spin differential, developmental pitch.

Delivery: Bobby works from the stretch, and is able to gain control of his body with an easy leg kick. As leg kick reaches max height he gathers over the mound, hand low in mid section for deception. Quick break of hands to a short arm delivery. Once arm is up and ready its a quick arm with downward sink.
FB: Touching 82 mph a couple times, Bobby’s fastball gets on hitters quickly, he commands the inside part of the plate well with the fast ball.
CB: Using a spike grib for curveball, he was able to work this pitch on both sides of the plate. Getting good depth. With more side movement, he was able to throw it deep to Left handed hitters.
CH: With a good velo difference at 74-75, Bobby had good pronation to make his ball dive and move very late. Used the change up in all counts and forced weak contact.
