5-foot-11, 165-pound, average athletic frame, rounded shoulders, showing good strength, room for added weight gains. A right-handed pitcher, working out of the windup, hands start lower, workup with leg raise, has timing and temp to the delivery. A shorter inline stride, works downhill, arm path is short and clean on the backside, working from a high 3/4 slot. A slight spin off on foot strike, could stay through release a tick longer. The delivery hides the baseball, tough to pickup out of the hand for hitters. The fastball was clocked at 77 mph, with arm side run to it. The breaking ball was clocked at 64 mph, showing a 1/7 break to it, spin and shape correct needs to add more fastball hand speed. The changeup, showed proper shape, clocked at 71 mph, thrown for strikes. Interesting arm, look for a jump in velocity at some point.
