Duncan

Duncan is a left-handed hitting pitcher and outfielder who swings it from the right side of the plate. He has an athletic setup at the dish with his hands at ear level and front foot slightly open. He loads in his backside with a quick toe tap. He tips his bat behind his head to get the bat on a continuous path through the zone. His barrel works deep and quickly flies uphill through the zone. He remains in a balanced position and has advanced hip action with an exit velocity of 83. In the outfield, he has average footwork and transfer. He has fade and minimal carry on his throws, need to learn to compensate for the natural movement he gets on his throws at 81 from the outfield.---On the mound, Duncan has an up-tempo delivery with some effort. He has a quick, arm action and releases the ball from a ¾ slot. He gets down the mound pretty well despite finishing around his front side. His fastball showed some life and command to both corners while topping out at 84 mph. He displayed a changeup that needs work but had a good bit of arm side fade. His breaking ball has 11/5 shape and potential to be a plus pitch up to 72 mph. He commanded it well. Duncan has a bright future on the mound and should continue to improve as he builds his frame.
