6-foot, 145-pound right-handed pitcher, who continues to improve on the bump. The delivery took on a little makeover as he leads with the front hip and tilts the shoulders back as he makes his way into foot strike. The velocity is improving but not sure he can hold the command with that style of delivery. Time will tell. The tracking is proper and his feet line up with the catcher. The arm is clean and loose, the frame is thin. The arm is quick and he should be an upper 80’s guy by the time he leaves high school. The fastball touched 85 mph. The spin pitch is a breaking ball, sat at 72 mph. The changeup is good , sat at 75-76 mph.
2017 FUTURE GAMES 6-foot, 150-pound right-hander out of Western Massachusetts is trending appropriately at this point of his development. I love the arm and think he is going to blow up down the road. The fastball sat 81-82 mph a with arm side run and sink to it. The spin pitch is slurvy, sat at 70 mph. The changeup has the right fade and sink to it, needs a spin fix. The pitch was 73-74 mph. Pitches out of a 3/4 slot, the arm is loose and free. The swing is long on the backside and he gets solid extension out front. The fastball has good arm side run to it cause of the slot. The spin pitch needs to happen more out front but the shape is appropriate. In other words, he needs to add more fastball hand speed to the pitch. The lift is methodical and his tracking is online. Keep an eye on this guy, he is going to be a good one. Added 20 pounds and strength to the frame, lookout.
6.27.2017 6-foot,145-pound right-handed pitcher who is coming along very nicely. The fastball touched 84 mph, with arm side action on it. The breaking ball has a chance to be special, sits at 70 mph. The shape of it is appropriate, just needs a little more fastball hand speed. The changeup has the correct spin, sitting at 74 mph. The delivery comes out you out of a plus ¾ slot. The feet have crossfire to them, causing deception but taking away from his spin pitch. Athletic lift, small pause and go to the plate. Tracking the shoulder longer is important as is physical strength. The arm, itself, is really quick. Big follow in my opinion.

Lanky and slender right-hander from Westfield High School. Threw the ball very well, a good upside to the stuff. The arm works out of a ¾ slot, quick out front. The delivery is methodical, with a slight glove side pull to it. With better direction of his front side and feet will lead to be command of his pitches. The frame is thin now, and should gain some pounds to it. The fastball has good run and life to it, sitting right at 80 mph. The breaking ball is slurvy, with good tilt, sitting at 68 mph. Really like the shape of the spin pitch, could be a plus pitch in the near future. The changeup needs a spin fix, but the velocity was correct, sitting at 73 mph. Good looking follow on the mound.
