NY Games (June 25-27, 2017)

Solidly-built 5-foot-11, 165--pound left-hander, ran a 7.44/60. Pitching - quick arm action with arm-side run on 78-79 MPH fastball that touches 80 MPH, uses hip tilt to gather self at balance point, throws 10-to-4 curveball for strikes at 71-73 MPH and mixes in change-up at 71-72 MPH, effectively changes eye level, consistently induces weak contact. Offensively - out of a nearly upright stance, keeps bat on level path through the strike zone, full extension with an exit velocity of 84 MPH, repeatable motion, uses inner knee rotation to involve hips, further lower body engagement will add to power. Defensively - clean footwork, sound fundamentals, smooth transfer, accurate arm at 75 MPH.
