08.09.17 Big bodied with strength throughout the 6-foot-3, 225 pound frame. Fastball showed direction and feel at 82-84. High hands work to separate to a short arm action and high-3/4 slot. Slight elbow lead out of the glove. Better than average arm speed. Coils the front side at balance and slightly closed at landing. Extension can get cut off as the body uncoils. Breaking ball sat 72-76 with hard, short action. Inconsistent tilt, the makings of tight spin are present. The change-up occasionally cut at 72-76, but was around the zone and serviceable. Body is still working to sync the arm action and lower half. Future projection is evident. Strength over quickness in the projection at this time.
