Pitching notes: From stretch, hands lift on the high front leg with front side high as he moves inline down the hill. Full swing arm with depth to 3/4 release; fluid actions and intent over the frontside allowing him to stay in the zone with the fastball locating it to both sides of the plate. FB showed ability to surprise hitters especially when going to the gloveside. CB has slurve bend in 11/4 shape; loose bend with times where it sweeps off the plate. Able to utilize it as a strikeout pitch and has shape that can tighten well as he matures. Strong outing and upside available on the mound. FB 74-78 / CB 60-63
Offensive notes: Balanced, high hands, high back elbow stance. Back leg stays grounded with small tuck allowing direct hands to work and make contact out front. Able to backspin balls to pull gap with swing having compact lift in it. When he's able to work behind the baseball there was better barreled contact in game. 60-yard - 7.98 / EV mph - 80
Defensive notes: Wider base with high hips and flat back. Able to make plays during the workout and make accurate throws. Trusted glove and worked it through the baseball. 3B mph - 79
