6-foot-2, 210-pound right-handed pitcher. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4. He did the whole outing out of the stretch. The lift is repeated, solid in tempo and he showed recoil after release. The arm works clean and free as he is very aggressive with his arm speed. Showed glove pull as he spins off target at times. The fastball touched 89 mph, with arm side run to it. The spin pitch was 72-75 mph and good at times. The changeup is a developing pitch as he will need it at the next level. He is a good arm with good upside.

6-foot-2, 215-pound, strong athletic frame. The back is wide, shoulders are broad, well proportioned, durable pitchers frame. A right-handed pitcher, who pounded the zone with a two-pitch mix. The arm action is longer, working out of a 3/4 slot, lived in the bottom part of the zone, 4-seamer, has bore action to it. The fastball was clocked at 82-84 mph, with a breaking ball at 67-69 mph, more slurvey with a bigger break, needs to have more fastball hand sped, slows down at times. Solid follow.

6-foot-2, 195-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball sat at 82-83 mph, arm side run to the pitch. Showed command of the pitch on both sides. The spin pitch is good, 70-72 mph, correct in shape. The slider is 71- 72 mph, needs added fastball hand speed to it. The changeup is a developing pitch. The delivery is online with the feet and above 3/4 in slot. The arm is free and clean, nice arm swing to lead to added velocity. The tracking comes offline a bit prior to foot strike but he is a strike thrower who can spin the ball. I really like his upside as he matures.
10.20.18 6-foot-2, 195-pound right-handed pitcher. Showed very well at the event. The fastball touched 83 mph, arm side run to the pitch. The spin pitch is good in shape, sitting at 68-70 mph. The changeup shows fade to the pitch. sitting 75-77 mph. The delivery is online with the feet, above 3/4 in slot. The arm works free and clean. The lift is repeated, small sink in the back leg. The glove has pull across the hitters face, leading to deception. The changeup is an above average pitch, should be a dominant one as he matures. Good looking prospect.

6-foot-2, 195-pound, strong physical frame. The back is wide, well proportioned, strength throughout, will be a physical at some point, has athleticism. A two-way player, worked off the mound, and at first base. A right-handed pitcher, the delivery is simple and compact, hands start low work up with relaxed leg raise. The weight stays on the back side, lead leg direction lands slightly closed, throws against a firm front side, good extension out front. The arm action is longer on the backside, arm works out of a high ¾ slot. The fastball reached 84 mph, with heavy 2-seam action to it. The curve ball is his top secondary pitch, thrown for strikes clocked at 68 mph, more top to bottom break. Slows down on changeup, needs to trust it more, clocked at 70-74 mph, chance to be an above average pitch. At the plate hits from the right side, showed good power, had a tee exit velocity of 86 mph, hands work through the zone. The barrel stays in the zone a long time, creates loft and lift. Defensively, soft hands and good feet around the bag at first. Showed good drop steps starting the double play. The arm was clocked at 80 mph, with good touch on all throws. Potential to pitch with some velocity at some point, throws three pitches for strikes, good follow arm.
