8/12/20
6-foot-3, 165-pound left-handed pitcher. The fastball at 75-76 mph with arm side action to it. The spin pitch was 65-67 mph, big in shape as it needs more fastball hand speed added to it. The changeup is 69-70 mph and solid in action. The delivery is online and the slot is above 3/4. The lift is repeated, significant amount of glove pull and the tracking needs to be adjusted to the plate. The changeup is a good pitch as the slot is high. The mechanics needs to be quieted down so he hold his posture and make quality pitches as he tires. The arm is clean in action and form
