Miles

Last Chance Preview-Upstate (October 14, 2017) Miles stands 6-foot-2, 185-pounds with broad shoulders, solid pitcher's build, with still room for advancement. He uses a simple pace to his delivery, repeatable, a free and easy arm-swing releasing the ball from a high 3/4 slot. Fastball peaked on the day at 80 mph (reports of slightly better), there's confidence with the fastball, pounds the zone. Curveball sits upper 60's with 12/6 shape. With additional arm-strength added this winter, watch out for Miles to have a big senior year on the mound.

Preseason All-State (February 20, 2016)

Miles stands 6-foot-2. 185-pounds with a pitchers build, long thick lower half with broad shoulders. Pitching- On the mound he uses a slower tempo to his delivery, sound mechanically, belt-high knee lift, slightly opens front side early before shoulder torque starts. Arm-action is fairly clean, circle is short, releases from a high 3/4 slot with fastball sitting 77-78 MPH. Shows an advanced feel for a breaking-ball sitting 66 with 10/5 shape.  Would benefit from more hand-speed when throwing the curveball. Overall, size and feel for offspeed are present, with a focus on arm-strength Miles should see some attention come this summer.
