5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed pitcher. He threw the ball very well at the event. The fastball sat 81-82 mph with arm side run and minimal sink to it. The spin pitch was 68-69 mph and could use a bit more fastball hand speed to the pitch. The changeup was 73-74 mph and still developing. The delivery was online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The tracking of the front shoulder needs to be adjusted as he comes offline too soon. The front side goes high to low as he goes to the plate. The arm is clean and he flooded the zone with strikes. The frame projects nicely and he is a solid prospect with his best days in front of him.

5-foot-11, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball touched 80 mph, minimal arm side action to the pitch. The spin pitch is solid in shape, sitting 67-68 mph. The spin pitch could use additional fastball hand speed. The changeup is a solid pitch, ranging 68-74 mph. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is right over the top. Methodical lift is used and he has a small bounce as he lifts his leg. The ball comes out well and the fastball is true. Picking up the pace of the delivery made lead to a spike in velocity
