6/12/18: Smaller framed 2018 RHP out of Penn HS. Pitches from high ¾ easy effort and ball jumps out his hand. Has some deception to delivery that is simple and easy. Arm stroke is short loose and quick. Showed ability to command the FB in all parts of the zone. FB sat 85-87 T88 with arm side at times. Flashed good late breaking CB at 72-73 that got swing and misses. Good 2019 follow.

2/25/18: 60 Time: 7.16, Position Velocity: INF-90, Exit Velocity: 85. Athletic twitchy middle infield/pitcher prospect showcased arm speed in the field and bat speed at the plate. Undersized, gets the most out of his swing using a small leg lift to swing. Creates uphill bat path to drive the baseball with average pop. Hands get a bit long in the back of swing, tick late on few pitches. Has more separation and length to create in swing in lower half. Middle of field approach with pop, ability to lift and drive. Easy arm action in the middle infield, hands firm to field with tall, long delivery and exchange to throw. Moves easy, good instincts to field, more development needed to play low through the baseball with better tempo. Plus arm and ball flight to first base. 

Pitching: Simple, clean arm action on the mound. Ball jumps out of the hand with ease with more in the tank. Athletic, effortless delivery down the mound, repeats with good direction and level shoulders. Quick, short arm action, ball comes out at high ¾ slot, fastball has small arm side run, jumps out of hand at 84-87, topping at 88. Showed gradual breaking ball at 68-70 with 10/4 break, near fastball arm speed and thrown as get me over strike. Potential to become power slider and out pitch. Changeup was average pitch, missed consistent arm side and away at 74-75. Chance to develop and polish all three, athletic prospect with upside on the mound.
