Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Average size frame with some lean strength on his body, intriguing arm talent that showed in the OF and also on the mound, clean arm action projects him to continue to throw harder as he matures, ran 7.35 60-yd, 91 mph OF throw was second best at event and was a prelude to his mound performance, FB max 87 mph (85-86), 2450 max spin, modest horizontal movement and didn't really attempt to use FB up, 5.0 release height suggests he COULD pitch just above the belt with spin he generates, SL 71-74 mph, 2350 max spin, lowers release height a big to 4.8, spin and break both are favorable and there is a good breaking ball in there as ball comes out cleanly, flashed one CHG 78.5 mph w/1590 spin, offensively 90 mph max EV, 27% sweet spot % (balls hit over 90 mph), big launch angle number of 43.9 tells some of the story of the attack angle and where the barrel is at contact, does have bat speed and some strength, overall the mound talent looks to have a higher ceiling than that of a position player and this coming spring a bump of 90 mph isn't inconceivable for the rising junior.

v Mitty HS: Came on in relief, shaky to first batter with control then settled in and made pitches after mound visit, clean small backside circle, smaller frame but arm works quite well and with strength gains there are ample velo jumps coming, climbs on top of the FB (80-83) well with ability to create life, quick CB with depth, interesting reliever type arm early in HS career with hints of stuff to develop into a starter, arm initially showed well from RF in pregame I/O.
