6/26/24

Lean 6-foot-2, 165-pound frame, impressed in his few innings of relief work in the Braves’ Friday night game. The right hander presented a ¾ arm slot, slow and long arm swing, deep back leg sink, and a repeatable motion from the windup and stretch. Fastball sat from 80-81 mph with carry, topping at 82; backed by an effective 2/8 curveball sitting from 68-69 mph. A clean mover with room for further development.

8/21/22

 

The 6-foot-1, 150-pound right-hander cruised in the 77-79 mph range with his fastball, playing with some life through the zone. He went to two different breaking balls throughout his ‘pen, the first being an 11/5 curveball at 63-65 mph, and the second being a 10/4 slider at 63-66 mph. His final offering was a changeup at 70-72 mph, fading late at times to the arm-side.
