Underclass Games

6-foot-2, 155-pound right-handed pitcher and switch-hitting first baseman, long, projectable frame, still has a long way to go until he is done growing and filling out with strength. On the mound, arm works clean on the back-side with above average arm speed to a ¾ slot. Tall and fall delivery, shoulders remains level, works on-line, lands square, finishes with momentum carrying him down the mound. Fastball, 75-77, touched 78, run action. Changeup, fade and sink, potential out pitch. Curveball, 68-70, 11/5 shape. Offensively, similar setup on both sides, tall with weight loaded on back leg, hands load back deep, long stride, good balance. Level swing from both sides of the plate, predominantly uses the pull-side, loose wrists, flashed pop with much more on the way as he fills out his frame, 77 exit velocity off a tee. Defensively, clean arm action to a low ¾ slot, 78 across the infield. Moves well and covers ground with long strides, clean footwork, hands work well, clean on transfers. Ran an 8.54 laser-timed 60.
