Clark

Delivery: Compact, balanced, repeatable.
Arm Action: RH. 12:45 tilt, worked down in the zone, consistent release point.
FB: T89, 86-87 mph. Command on the arm side part of the plate, 15.3 induced vertical break and 6.4 horizontal break show slight ride and run, 1986 average spin rate is low.
CB: 70-72 mph. Command on the glove side part of the plate, -7.1 induced vertical break and -8.8 horizontal break show classic curveball break, 2109 average spin rate is low.
CH: 75-79 mph. 

Riverside Co. Preseason All-State: Five-foot-11, 170-pounds, lean, wiry strong frame with plenty of room for development. Clark showed well in the outfield where his footwork and exchanges were clean and his arm (86 mph) was accurate to the bag/plate. Funnels balls out front while arriving under control and ready to throw. Showed feel for hitting during BP where he sprayed to all fields showing to favor the opposite field gap. It’s on the mound where Clark stood out showing at least average command of two pitches with feel for a third. Shows a loose, compact and repeatable arm through to a high 3/4 slot and an out front release point. Fastball shows late action at the plate that he keeps down in the zone. The fastball (T 85 mph) plays way up thanks to his changeup (77-79 mph) that flashes hard, downward sinking run to the arm side. Clark’s curveball at 69-71 mph can be loose and out of the zone at times, but should be a nice compliment for the other two pitches this spring.
