NYS Games - June 25-27 2017
Sturdy 6-foot, 190-pound RHP, ran a 7.42/60. Pitching - quick arm action of a ¾ slot, effortless, late movement on 81-83 MPH that touches 84 MPH used to set up 12-to-6 curveball that freezes right-handed batter, hard bite on slider, mixes in change-up down in the zone at 75-76 MPH, consistently induces weak contact. Offensively - effective load, loose and fluid swing, brings bat through strike zone on level path, full extension with slight upper cut and exit velocity of 81 MPH, some evidence of counter rotation between upper and lower torso, further lower body engagement will increase power.
