2/12/15 - Miami commit. 6-foot-3, 200 pound right hander with a good body and clean, repeatable delivery. Fastball was 84-90 mph today. (90-93 mph in Jupiter) with tailing life and occasionally 2 very good secondary pitches.  Curve ball has  ¾ rotation and is almost an avg ML pitch. Above average feel for his changeup.  Has a low elbow at release but his pitchability is advanced.  Tons of strikes, extremely fast-paced. Solid pro prospect. Could be a 2015 draft. Has better stuff than he showed today.  Has a loosey-goosey approach.  Had trouble the first inning where he gave up all 3 runs allowed, and then settled in nicely the rest of the way.

 
Loose body with good rhythm in delivery. Fluid, quick arm. FB 87-92 with late life down in zone. CV 73-76 with good depth and rotation. Has feel for CHG, 78-80. Throws alot of strikes. Will be a 2015 draft.
