05.23.18 Athletic build at 5 feet 9, 145 pounds. Still maturing. Stretch only working on-line with a long arm swing to a high-¾ slot. Good extension. Loose hips. Some effort through release, landing stable on the front side. Fastball ranged 77-81. Erratic command settled some as bullpen progressed. Breaking ball may develop into a weapon. Sitting 64-65 now, it spins well with 11/5 tilt and gradual break from a near fastball hand and arm speed. Change-up got out hard at times, straight with deception in the arm speed, touching 76. Hits from the right side using a balanced setup and short stride with his hands going from low to high during his load. Maintains balance during his swing with a shorter path to the ball. Works downhill to the ball at times but does look to get good extension out front. Looks to stay gap to gap and shows the ability to line balls out. Exit velocity peaked at 82 mph and should improve with added strength. Shows good actions on the infield with soft hands, fluid feet, and clean, quick exchanges. Shows athleticism on the slow roller and the ability to throw from different slots with his arm topping at 81 mph across the diamond. Also, recorded a 5.53 in the 40-yard dash.
