8/12/20

6-foot-5, 240-pound right-handed pitcher. He has the makings of very good stuff as he progresses in age. The frame is big, thick and durable. The fastball sat 82-83 mph with crossfire action to it. The spin pitch is a good one, sitting 71-74 mph with plus depth. It should be a swing and miss pitch as he matures. The changeup is still developing for him. The delivery has crossfire to the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is repeated, small coil at the top and he spins through leg drive. The glove has pull to it and he comes off line at times. The arm is clean and quick, as he is a very good prospect. 

7/01/20

6-foot-4, 240-pound, large athletic frame, a durable pitchers frame. A right-handed pitcher, showed well at this event.  The arm action is super clean on the backside, working from a 3/4 slot, its longer and works with easy effort on the back side. The frontside stays inline, The backside is strong, follow through is accurate with backside drive. The fastball was up to 84 mph, with arm side action and run, getting on the hitter quick, showed the ability to locate to the glove side of the plate. The breaking ball reached 74 mph, good tight spin, with depth. Showed the ability to have feel for the changeup at 77 mph, with such clean arm action can develop this pitch, into a swing and miss offering. Big time follow, look for the game to continue to rise.

2/09/20

6-foot-4, 240-pound right-handed pitcher. The showing in Tewksbury was impressive as he is big, durable and moved athletically on the mound. The feet have a little crossfire and the slot is above 3/4. The tracking to the plate is solid as he stays on the catcher. Produces a good amount of shoulder and hip separation as he is going to throw very hard at some point. The fastball sat 81-82 mph with run and sink to the pitch. The spin pitch is solid in shape, sitting 72-73 with hard/late breaking action. The changeup is 74-75 with minimal fade. Big time prospect for me.
