Positional Profile: RHP Body: 6-0, 150-pounds. Lanky and long, ample room in frame for future size as he gains physical maturity. Delivery: High glove in front of fact, modified wind-up with foot preset against rubber, high agile lift to chest height, gathers over rubber, creates power at rubber, controls stride with outstanding backside mechanics, slight cross body stride, full back hip finish, maintains balance throughout for consistent release point. Arm Action: RH. Calm out of glove, loose easy arm action with natural projectability as he physically matures, keeps fingers above the ball, very slight inversion on backside, mid-thigh depth, 3/4 slot that is occasionally lower, full finish with back shoulder getting through, clean deceleration. FB: T81, 78-80 mph. Fair spin with 2102 max (1981 avg) which combined with lower slot suggest a bottom of zone pounding sinker can be developed, easy arm action allows for some sneaky life jumping on hitters, 5.7 avg extension. SL: 69-71 mph. Big sweeper with feel, release height mirrors the FB allowing for deception, hints of spin (2247 max, 2123 avg) and depth to project this as a swing and miss breaking ball, developed better and better feel as his outing went along. CH: 72-73 mph. Potentially a plus CHG, extension mirrors FB and SL, slightly lower slot, pounded down in zone with late life/drop, low spin and feel present it as a hittable pitch that dives below bats.
