6-foot, 155-pound long, lean, with room for added weight gains. Above average on the mound, used a loose arm action with a high ¾ arm angle while showing quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall type pitcher and shows easy effort, gets down the mound, is in line with plate on release. Has a tall balance point and downhill shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 82-84 mph; had a hard fastball that showed running action and arm side control. Has a 11/5 curveball 68-70 mph that shows glove side command and swing and miss action. His changeup 73-74 mph has fading action and very consistent control. The stuff is above average, can get you out multiple ways.
6-foot, 145-pound, longer, thin athletic frame. The shoulders are squared off, with room for added weight gains. A left-handed pitcher, showed very well, was his second event during the week, bounced back nicely. Off the mound the delivery has tempo and timing, building momentum down the mound. The hands start low, work up with smooth higher leg raise. Slight forward lean down the mound, longer inline stride. The arm action is long and loose on the backside, working out of a 3/4 to higher slot. The fastball was up to 82 mph, pounded to the glove side, has some crossfire to him, showed some 2-seam action. Both secondary pitches thrown for strikes, changeup is a plus pitch, good arm side run, thrown at 74-76 mph. The breaking ball has depth and tilt to it, gets it to the back foot, clocked 70 mph, spin rate of up over 2100. Great follow, going to be good.
6-foot, 145-pound left-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 79-80 mph with arm side action to the pitch. The spin pitch is big in shape, sitting 67-69 mph. The changeup is still developing for him. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is 3/4. The lift is repeated, solid in tempo and athletic. The tracking of the front shoulder can stay online longer so extension can improve. The arm works clean and free. The glove comes across the hitters face leading to deception to the delivery. The command of the baseball needs to improve as he matures in age.
