Heartland Scout Day: High 3/4 slot right-hander with good downhill plane on his 85-88 mph fastball. Riding action up in zone. Threw for strikes with more control than command. Segmented delivery. Full path. Clean arm action. Flashed an average slider in the 73-75 mph range and showed solid feel for a sinking changeup at 75-76 mph.

Six-foot-3, 190 pound, strong, athletic, well-proportioned two-way prospect. On the mound, right-handed pitcher and flashed feel for three pitches. Tall and fall delivery, some rhythm, repeatable, strides open, square landing and athletic finish. Quick, loose arm from a high ¾ slot and regular effort throughout. Fastball, works mostly straight, sat 83-85 mph, touching 86. Curveball, 12/6 shape, maintains arm speed, some depth and clocked at 68-70 mph. Feel for his changeup, maintains arm speed, mostly straight action, slight fade at times, 72-75 mph. Offensively, right-handed hitter with bat speed and a gap-to-gap approach. Long, uphill bat path and some strength through contact; registered an 84 mph exit velocity. Defensively, live, loose arm from the outfield; throws had carry, accurate and clocked at 84 mph. Plays thru the baseball, clean exchange, fluid footwork and steady hands.
