Notes

Comments

1/08/23

Arm Action: RH. Two piece arm action with wrap, 3/4 slot.
FB: T81.7, 80-81 mph. Late run arm side, late cut glove side. T2104, 2025 average rpm.

1/08/23

Positional Profile: OF/RHP
Body: 6-0, 177-pounds. Large frame, plenty of room to fill out.
Hits: RHH. Base just outside shoulders, barrel set up vertically. Good rhythm between hips & hands. Extremely clean little c load that creates effortless twitch in hands. Well sequenced. Short to, long through path with perfect launch angle for loft.
Power: 94 max exit velocity, averaged 87.8 MPH. 340' max distance. Back spin doubles and more to pull side. Tons of carry.
Arm: RH. INF-82 mph.Full circle arm action 3/4 slot.
Defense: Positions himself well, sure hands with consistent exchange.
Run: 7.41 runner in the 60.

7/22/22

Underclass Games - Pitcher Analysis

Positional Profile: OF/RHP Sneaky power bat who will probably end up in LF in the future because of lack of arm or athleticism in the OF
Body: 6-foot-0, 177-pounds. Med. size build w/ thick lower half
Delivery: Drop and drive delivery, sits on back-side at balance point, high front side with a hip lead,  works on-line, lands toe open, falls off the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Long arm action, reaches back, comes over-the-top with some arm speed.
FB: T85.7, 81.4-84.8 mph. Sinking action low in the zone, flattens out up. T1909, 1737 average rpm.
CB: 63.6-70.7 mph. 11/5 shape, inconsistent. T1532, 1440 average rpm.
CH: 75.1-77.5 mph. Heavy fade and sink, potential swing and miss. T1581, 1424 average rpm.

7/20/22

Underclass Games - Outfield Analysis 

Positional Profile: OF/RHP Sneaky power bat who will probably end up in corner OF.
Body: 6-foot-0, 177-pounds. Med. size build w/ thick lower half
Hit: RHH. Slightly open setup w/ rhythm in barrel before load. Impressive balance in backhip w/ short leg kick which triggers the bat to get vertical. Clears hips well w/ heavy barrel through the zone.  Hips land on an inclined plane causing natural lift through contact. The barrel stays through the zone forever.
Power: 92.3 max exit velocity, averaged 84.6 mph. 339’ max distance. Current power to all fields with a lot more to come. Sneaky power out a frame you might not expect.
Arm: RH. OF - 80 mph. Quick 3/4 arm action w/ natural pronation at the end.
Defense: Smooth transfer, but can tend to be off-balanced in the lower half as he progresses into rotation causing lack of "power" behind throw.
Run: 7.21 runner in the 60.
