6-foot-3, 175-pound, long, lengthy athletic frame. The shoulders are sloped, back is thin, looks like he has physically matured and added weight since last season, still has room for added growth. Committed to Columbia, a right-handed pitcher, the delivery, has rhythm to it, coil to leg raise, uses the lower half well, drives with the back side, is extremely aggressive getting down the mound. The arm works out of a natural ¾ slot, arm is electric, fastball has made a significant jump since last year, was 88-89 mph with heavy sink to the arm side. The slider was 77-78 mph, with late break and tilt to it, nasty pitch. The changeup is still a work in progress, are drops slightly gets underneath it at times, was clocked at 78-80 mph. Big time arm, look for good things from this him this year

6-foot-2, 160-pound long athletic frame, shoulders are sloped, has plenty of room to add for future development. A right-handed pitcher, arm is clean, free and works out of a ¾ slot. The delivery has good tempo, has a power leg kick, with some coil to it. The separation is clean, gets down the mound and the direction is inline. Throws all three pitches out of the same slot. The fastball sat at 84-86 mph with life to the arm side. The curveball was at 67-70 mph with 10/4 break to it. The changeup has a chance to be big time pitch, showed proper fade to arm-side, was thrown at 73-74 mph. The backside could stay stronger, drops on it at times. Times to the plate were 1.34, without much effort, will get quicker as he develops.
