08.07.18 Large frame at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds. Some effort in an over-the-top slot, showing feel for three pitches in the zone. Some feel for moving fastball in and out in his sequencing. Fastball ranged 77-81. Long arm swing and average hand speed. Level and on-line in the delivery. Foot strike is square, allowing for some extension. Breaking ball was erratic early, but he found consistency in his second inning. Gradual 10/4 tilt at 66-68. Works from a similar window as the fastball. Straight change-up appears from fastball hand speed at 70-72. Attacked the zone with the change and it appeared to be the 2ndpitch for most of the outing.
02.09.18 Strong lower half and large frame at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds. Features three pitches in the zone, commanding off-speed. Fastball ranged 80-82, downhill, occasional run especially when elevated. Tall through balance, working level, and landing slightly closed. Over-the-top slot with average arm speed. Breaking ball is a gradual downer at 68-71, coming out of the same window as fastball. Shows feel for change as well at 68-70. Arm side run to the change-up, slowing the arm at times.
