01.28.18 Stocky frame with strength present, standing 5-foot-10, 170 pounds. Works from a side-saddled position and easy transition to his balance point. The leg kick is a little abbreviated, staying tall on the backside through foot-strike. Lands slightly across his line, working to an over-the-top slot. Similar mechanics, crouching at the waist while leaving balance, when he drops to a low-3/4 slot. Fastball sat 80-82, touching 83 from the elevated slot. When dropping down, velocity dipped to 77-79. Breaking ball is thrown hard from a similar window as the fastball at 66-69, with 10/4 tilt, working to find the zone. Drops down to the lower slot to throw a slider, sweeping out of the hand at 63-66. Change-up has some deception out of the hand at 70-74.
08.27.17 5-foot-10, 175 pounder has feel from multiple slots. Over-the-top there is a quick arm showing feel for fastball and breaking ball. Fastball sat 77-80, heavy at times, working the down zone. Some rhythm, works on-line. Athletic delivery with a high leg kick and looseness in the body. Breaking ball from the top slot ranged 62-65. Sharp, downer action at times, works with similar hand speed to fastball. Drops down to a side arm release with the fastball sowing some arm side action at 73-74. Feel for location to the arm side. Same balance point for both slots, tucking the head slightly as he works down the line. Breaking ball wants to sweep but fights for clean rotation at 61-63.
