5-foot-9, 175-pound, athletic, sturdy. Above average on the mound, used a loose arm action with a ¾ arm angle while showing quick arm speed. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses some effort. Tall balance point with even shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. The arm works well, baseball comes out of the hand with ease.  Produced a fastball that came in at 80-82 mph; has control low in the zone and running action with heavy movement. Had command low in the zone and swing and miss action on his 1/7 curveball 65-66 mph. His changeup 76-77 mph; shows arm side command and fading action. Look for velocity to climb.

5-foot-9, 175-pound, strong, solid, durable athletic frame, well proportioned, with strength. A right-handed pitcher, working from more of a hybrid start. The delivery is simple and repeatable, lift is athletic, gets on the backside, stronger post leg. The stride is inline, separation is on time. The arm action is long and clean, path is more bottom to top, working from a 3/4 slot. The fastball was up to 81 mph, with more in there as he continues to add strength, and as he continues to work on his craft. The fastball creates riding action to it. The secondary pitches are advanced, the change up has fade and depth to it, a swing miss offering, will play well off fastball. The breaking ball showed proper spin to it, spin rate close to 1900. Love the feel for his pitch-ability. Look for big things from this one.

5-foot-9, 165-pound, smaller, strong athletic frame, showing athletic movements and actions. A right-handed hitting two-way player, worked out on the left-side of the field. Defensively, shows soft hands, working low to the ground, gains ground moves well to glove side. The backhand was soft, comes through the baseball. The arm action is short and clean, working from a 3/4 slot. The arm was clocked at 78 mph. At the plate, even feet slightly wider than shoulder width, hands are quiet, set above the shoulders, bat starting is a tilted setup. The lower half is under control, small step, weights stays balanced and back. The swing is level through the zone, more of a middle to pull side approach with line drives. The exit velocity was clocked at 79 mph. Worked off the mound as well, mixed a 3 pitch mix. The delivery is simple, stays over the rubber, landing inline, squaring up on release, a strike thrower. The arm action is clean from a 3/4 slot, fastball clocked at 79 mph, with arm side action. Dropped the breaking ball in at 65 mph, with a bigger break. Shows feel for a changeup, with fade action to it. A true baseball player is a good follow.

Exit Velocity: 79 mph

Arm Velocity: 78 mph

5-foot-9, 165-pound, average athletic frame. Sloped shoulders, good strength for age and size. A right-handed hitter, higher hands set, taller stance with even feet. The path is level through the zone, barrel stays centered, with a middle to pull side approach. Lower half is under control, shows some backside drive. Showed a tee exit velocity of 79 mph, more in there once he adds strength. Ran a 4.56 from home to 1st, clean athletic strides. Defensively, threw 75 mph across the diamond, arm is clean, works freely out of a natural 3/4 slot. Showed flow moving to glove side on turns to second base. The feet and hands work well together. Off the mound, simple delivery, stays tall and strong over back leg, clean separation, direction is inline to plate. The arm action was long and clean arm worked a tick higher than 3/4. The fastball was clocked at 77 mph with action to arm side. The breaking pitch sat at 60-63 mph, bigger top to bottom break, will need to develop more hand speed with it over time. Showed feel for the change up at 68-70 mph.
