Jean
Ortiz Melendez

Physical: Lengthy, athletic 5-foot-10, 145-pound frame with lightning quickness in the arm and room to fill out as he matures. 

Pitching: RHP - Up tempo in the delivery with a high leg lift at the top of the stack, generated plenty of hip shoulder separation upon land towards the target allowing for a quick, high ¾ arm to whip through release. The fastball played with added life at the plate at 85-88 mph with a top of 2467 spin per Trackman Baseball. Commanded a sharp 74-76 mph CB with tight 11/5 shape and 2272 max spin. Countered with a horizontal biting, 73-74 mph SL and featured an occasional 82-83 mph CH that was stiff and thrown close to FB arm speed. Trusted his stuff and competed on the bump. 

Physical:  Wiry, athletic build with fast twitch actions.
Pitching: Works up tempo, high leg lift building momentum as he strides out keeping shoulders in line at foot strike where he generates a lot of torque to accelerate through a repeatable release following through with a recoil. Comes out of the glove to a good neutral slot before accelerating to a clean 3/4 release.
FB: T89, 85-88 MPH. Commands with ride through the zone.
CB: 75-76 MPH. Sharp 12-6 break.
SL: 73-75 MPH. Slurve with tight break.
CH: 73-75 MPH. Good hand speed with arm side fade.
