01.28.17 Works downhill with above average hand speed. Fastball reached 85, sitting 82-84. There is some effort in the delivery as the lower half is loaded at balance, working to level shoulders, a long arm action with minimal stiffness, to an over-the-top slot. Breaking ball has late tilt, working 68-71. At times erratic, did show an ability to throw the pitch for strikes. Change-up is the third pitch for now, slowing the hands at times, ranging 75-77. Good athlete that has strength Ran a 4.19 thirty and produced a solid 8-foot standing broad jump. Offensively, sets up as balanced with a short stride, while loading the barrel to a vertical position. Wants extension as he works slightly uphill, staying in the middle of the field. Exit velocity topped at 81. In the outfield, the arm worked with ease to a high-3/4 slot where the ball showed good carry and accuracy. Slightly dialed down (due to throwing a bullpen earlier), the arm strength tested at 80mph.
