Game Performance

Notes

Comments

7/31/22

Event: California State Games
Body: 5-10, 155-pounds. Lean and streamlined with athletic proportions on average size frame.
Delivery: Starts on 3B side of rubber, rocker step to 1B side, swings foot up and under knee with athletic fluid lift to mid-chest height, hands work in rhythm with legs, sinks into back leg over the rubber as he closes the front side, long stride in-line to plate, lands slightly open, body control through release in good fielding position, athletic and repeatable delivery with leverage and stability against front side.
Arm Action: Fluid circular arm action on backside, gets to mid-thigh height, high-3/4 slot, full finish past lead leg.
FB: T86.2, 82-85 mph velo range. 2385 max spin (2262 avg), 21.1 IVB avg, 9.7 HM avg, 63% zone %, 5.4 avg extension, 4.6 release height, quick easy FB with length through the zone, able to hold plane.
CB: 71-74 mph, 2313 max spin (2052 avg), 4.2 avg release height, 53% zone %, able to land it in bottom quadrants of zone with smooth continuous break, not a snapper but quality depth that will start bats.
CH: 75-76 mph, 1747 avg spin, 14.9 HM avg, 5.3 avg extension, 4.1 release height, lowering of release by .5 is something to work on, the feel is there, the extension is there, quality finish with ability to sell the pitch.

3/07/21

Body: 5-8, 140-pounds. Slim, proportional build with room for added strength.
Defense: Quickness in footwork; First step instincts are very good allowing him to properly position his body while gathering out front.
Arm: RH.  OF - 86 mph. Arm plays in the OF with accurate throws to 3B & home. Throws flash carry and ride.
Hit: RHH. Open stance with significant leg lift trigger, rocks hands pre-pitch.  Slight uphill path allowing him to create backspin; knob to ball approach; loud contact.
Power: 90 mph exit velocity. 
Run: 7.44 runner in the 60. 

Delivery: Simple, quick delivery; drop/drive tendencies as he gathers on back leg before driving down the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Low effort with quickness in arm, can get a tick long in back, repeats mechanics and arm slot on all pitches.
FB: T85, 83-85 mph. Fastball command was very good working to both sides of the plate with some late life.
CB: 67-72 mph. Pitch flashes late break with slightly below average spin; can tumble on him at times.
CH: 71-74 mph. Best offspeed offering; pitch flashes late movement down in the zone into RHH; a backdoor changeup if you will.
