5-foot-11, 186-pound mature, solid, projectable frame.  Capable on the mound, showed a short arm action and a ¾ arm angle with some arm speed Drop-and-drive type pitcher who uses easy effort. Has even shoulder and strong balance point. Lands square with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 67-72 mph; showed arm side command and sinking action.

5-foot-7, 170-pound, think athletic frame, showing strength throughout. A right-handed pitcher, who threw the baseball well in his outing, has made a jump from last event. Working from the set position, has a higher hand set in gather position, small drift, inline stride to the plate. The front arm can stay online a tick longer, drops off on release. The arm action is super short on the backside, clean, working from his ear, out of a 3/4 slot. The fastball was clocked at 71 mph, with arm side run to it. Also dropped in a slurvey breaking ball at 62-64 mph. Pounded the zone with a solid two-pitch mix. Will need to add strength.

5-foot-7, 170-pound, thicker athletic durable frame for a pitcher. Well proportioned, will need to add strength as he physically matures. A right-handed pitcher, works from the stretch the entire time. The hands start and stay high, stays tall, over the back side, glides out to foot strike, direction is inline. The arm path is extremely short, pulls right out from glove, more of a catcher slot. Showed the ability to locate to glove side with four seamer, fastball clocked at 68-69 mph. Still young, only threw a changeup at 59-64 mph, had cut action to it. A longer arm path, may help in more fade action to arm side.  Overall conditioning along with a regimented throwing program will aid in a velocity jump.
