6-foot-2, 200-pound right-handed pitcher and corner infielder. The approach in the infield was solid, as he moved through the baseball, showing soft hands. The bat had an exit velocity of 99 mph. The setup at the dish was wide in base and the bottom half was under control throughout. The hands work quick and he stays inside the baseball. The strength is obvious as he leans on the baseball. On the mound, the fastball sat 86-87 mph with sink and run. The breaking ball was 71-72 and solid in shape. The changeup was 75-76 mph and showed fade to the arm side. The delivery was online with the feet and slot is slightly above 3/4. The tempo is solid and he pulls offline a bit during the process of getting into foot strike.  The arm is clean and durable. The command of the baseball needs to improve as he matures in age. 

6-foot-1, 195-pound right-handed pitcher. The delivery is clean, online with the feet and landing slightly closed. The arm works freely and consistently in a higher 3/4 slot. The tempo of the delivery is solid and he stays with his arm. The fastball sat 79-80 mph with arm side run to it. He shows command of the fastball. The spin pitch is big in shape, sitting 67-68 mph. The changeup is a developing pitch for him. I think there is upside in this arm. He is a good follow.
