7.18.18

5-foot-8, 165-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball touched 79 mph, minimal arm side run to the pitch. The spin pitch was 70-71, good at times, with hard bite to it. The changeup is a work in progress. The delivery has crossfire to the feet, plus ¾ in slot. The tempo is quick and aggressive. The lift is athletic and repeated, small glove pull across the hitters face as he makes his way into foot strike. The delivery has deception to it, especially when the spin pitch is in the zone. Threw strikes and competed during the workout.

5-foot-8, 150-pound right-hander from the Dream Bat Bombers program. The fastball touched 76 mph with arm side run to it. The breaking pitch was 71 mph, showing good shape to the pitch. The changeup is 72 mph, needs a spin fix. Threw well at the event, showing a repeatable delivery. The glove is pointed to the plate and he goes. The direction is solid with his feet and top half. The hands do carry a bit, make sure to separate at the top of the lift, so the ball hand is not late. Showed solid stuff at the event, and would like to see pitch in a game. Showed an aggressive approach to pitching.
