5-foot-10, 160 pound outfielder with some elbow lead in the arm swing. Short arm path to a high-¾ slot. Average carry, measured at 79 mph out of the hand, and some accuracy. Left handed hitter works from a balanced, athletic position. Loads back with a leg kick and short stride. Some stiffness in the swing as the front side works early. Pull tendency. Bat sweeps through the zone. Ran a 7.10 sixty.
Flashed arm side command on a fastball ranging 75-78 with slight run. Good balance point, with a choppy rhythm to the delivery. High-¾ slot from a short arm swing, with some stiffness and effort. Shoulder work level and in line. Slightly closed at foot strike. Breaking ball sat 59-60 with 11/5 action. Early at times. Arm speed neared that of fastball, allowing for command in the zone, missing down but on-line at times. The change-up is the third pitch, sitting 68-69. In the zone, but with a slower arm speed.
