8/4/14 & 8/9/14- 6-foot-2, 205-pound 2 way player. Thick powerful build. 4.53 home to first. 6.87 60 time. Balanced set-up offensively. Straight back load with balanced stride. Choppy swing, very short in zone, short finish. Cuts off swing. Limited use of lower half. 82 mph exit velocity off tee. Defensively projects as a third baseman. Average glove and feet. Opens front side early using mid ¾ arm action, 80 mph across infield. On the mound, high leg kick, good rhythm, lands online and closed. Arm works, creates good arm speed, strength in delivery, minimal front side, shows arm strength with fastball and secondary pitches. High follow as a right handed pitcher. Fastball sat 83-85. Slider 74-77 mph. Also showed knuckleball ranging 64-67 mph. With simple adjustments to front side mechanics could see increase in velocity.
