PBR Central Coast Open - 6-foot-2, 175-pounds, Prototypical body with large frame showing tight waist and strength throughout body. Athletic runner with quickness in 7.54 60 yd dash. Same athleticism occurs in swing at the plate as stance starts high and tall before crouching with front leg lift and sitting into back hip. Bat was very loud and explodes through the zone showing very quick hands and strength as he drove the gaps (85 MPH exit velo) on an upward loft bat path. In the infield worked with wide low hips and some foot quickness that plays well as 3B. The arm showed flashes of above average with life and carry and the ability to put the ball on the bag with different angles including on the top ball (83 MPH).
Pitcher - As impressive on the mound as he is as a position player, a 2020 to know of for sure. On the mound the arm was very impressive working with life and quickness utilizing a longer action with some wrist curl on backside before getting to a mid-3/4 release point. The delivery starts with hands low at the waist and slight wrist turn before utilizing strong back leg drive to create excellent angles to lower part of the zone. Hides ball for a bit before attacking with good arm speed. Live body with some slight cross body stride. Makes an aggressive move through release, spins off of fastball release but better lower body stability with secondary offerings. Feels like he is in attack mode and confident. Fastball (83-86 mph) with life and quickness, curveball (71-72 mph) with quality spin and bite, definitely a usable pitch. Change-up (74-76 mph) comes out easy with feel and good finish. Observed as a pitcher alone is a highly recruitable 2020 grad, as he is on the position player side.
