9/26/20
5-foot-10, 150-pound left-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 70-71 mph with arm side action to it. The spin pitch was 61-62 mph and big in shape. The changeup is a work in progress. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is ok in tempo, direction of the top half comes offline prior to getting to foot strike. The front side needs to get equal and opposite with the backside so he can get synced up in his delivery. He did show a small bounce in his delivery as he got to the top of his lift.
