2017 Spring Scout Blog: The 6'6", 230 pound Purdue commit sat 85-87 with arm side run on the fastball. The big bodied junior threw a complete game shutout, allowing five singles, 1 walk, and striking out seven. Big downhill tilt, lived down in the zone for 5+ innings with the fastball. Regular effort down the mound with long, clean arm action. Worked very quick and repeated delivery with good rhythm and balance. Mixed the slider well, mostly a two pitch guy. Slider was thrown outer half of the plate at 78-79 for out pitch and thrown for a strike, middle of the plate at 76-77. Slider has fastball plane with late downward 10/4 bite to miss bats. Produced a lot of check swings and late swing attempts at pitch. Good feel and command. Changeup was firm at 75-76 with some cut action. Big body projects well at next level.
