Tall and lanky frame with an over the top delivery. Gets over his front side well and has a whippy arm. ASR on the FB with good bite to the SL.
Paul Van Dam: 3B/1B, (2026) East Lansing, MI. 6-foot-4, 175-pound. (62.0 mph bat speed average). (20.8 mph hand speed average). Begins in a tall active stance with a compact load, then uses a small leg kick. He found some barrels with some loud contact. Raw in the infield, his best throw was recorded at 65 mph; shows a lengthy developing exchange, hard developing hands, and developing in control feet. Fielded the ball out front with raw movement laterally. Solid on the mound, showed some arm speed, he had a high ¾ arm angle with a long arm action. Tall-and-fall type pitcher and uses some effort. Displays even shoulders with an tall balance point. Lands closed with balanced finish. (Max spin 1898; Avg 1853).
