2/16/16 - Florida Atlantic recruit. 6-foot-3, 200 pound right hander with a thick strong body with barrel chest and wide back. Long loose live arm at a high ¾ arm slot. Big arm arc in back but fairly consistent out front. Ball jumps out of hands. Lands in line. Stuff as tilt when he works out front. Fastball was 86-90 mph with some sink down in the zone. Curveball was a big breaking downer with some depth at 73-76 mph. It’s such a big breaker, that he struggles to keep it in the zone. Went 6 inn, 1 hit, 1 run, 9 Ks, 2 BB

10/7/15- 6-foot-3, 210-pound Florida Atlantic recruit. Physical. Sat 86-88 during the game and hit his spots. CB was 74-75 with tight spin and strong break over the plate. Repeats and gathers himself well.

2/18/15 - Big strong body with a loose quick arm at a high 3/4 slot. Fastball was 86-89 mph. Curve ball was 74-75 mph with downer type rotation and some depth. It breaks 2 planes. Needs to be able to throw it more consistently for a strike. Solid avg ML pitch. Good young physical kid with a live arm and more velocity to come. 

1/10/15 FTB tryout - RHP/1B with a lean and projectable body. At the plate he has an aggressive approach with a leg kick.  Has a good path but will sometimes pull off and out of the zone. His future is likely on the mound. His arm works easy with a fluid delivery. Very projectable arm. Velocity will grow as he continues to build strength. FB is 87-88, and his CV is 74-75 with some depth.
