6/29/22

Physical: 6-foot-3, 205 pounds; Long, athletic build.

Pitching: Uses a glove side setup working primarily from the stretch. Mid chest leg drive with a full coil away from the plate. Has a long stride while landing slightly closed. Long arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; low 3/4 slot. Square to the plate with finish. FB: Peak velo of 70 MPH, while sitting 66-68 MPH; arm side run with sink. CB: 59-61 MPH; early action.  

3/21/21

Pitching: Short side step before driving the knee up to the chest with a coil. Sits into back side as stride out landing in line with some give on the front side. Mid arm swing pulling down and back out of the glove before getting to a low 3/4 release ( 4"'6" AVG release height)

FB: +Arm side run (24") while flashing the ability to have ride at the top of the zone (22" IVB). CB: Tends to back up to arm side. SL: Sweeping action with up to 16" horizontal break. CH: Good feel for it with heavy arm side fade.

8/25/20

Physical: 6-foot-3, 180 pounds; long, lanky build.
Pitching: Methodical in the windup, explodes down the mound with good intent from the lower half. Long, swinging arm action out of the glove. Throws from a low 3/4 slot. FB: T 73 MPH, 69-72 MPH. Lived at the bottom of the zone, some ASR on the FB when thrown to left half of the plate. CB: 55-57 MPH. Throws a slow, falling curveball that consistently gets to the bottom of the zone. CH: 60-63 MPH. Showed a changeup that had a good difference in speed from the FB but thrown from a similar slot that added deception.

7/22/20

Physical: Tall and lean, 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame with present projectability in the build. 7.87 runner in the 60-yard dash. 

Offensively: LHH. Wide, slightly open stance with balance throughout the setup; hands start with a quick rhythm at the shoulder with a short leg lift stride to initiate a flat barrel path into the hitting zone. Generated some weight shift into a stiff front side while showcasing a strong top hand that dominated throughout the swing. Demonstrated a pull-side approach while contacting the ball out in front of the plate during batting practice but showed occasional timing issues when the front foot got down late. Recorded a top bat-exit velocity of 76 mph per Trackman Baseball. 

Defensively: The primary first baseman featured a moderately low center of gravity on the approach with a soft glove hand playing out in front of the right foot. Was able to stay low and get directional towards the bag on double play footwork. Arm worked across the diamond through a long, ¾ slot. 1B - 67 mph. 


3/01/20

Physical: Tall, lanky, projectable frame. 7.62 runner in the 60; 4.53 home-to-1B.

Up the middle approach. 71 MPH raw exit velocity.
Defensively: OF: Controlled, choppy footwork on approach, fields the ball just outside his glove foot, INF:Gets low with the ball and fields it in the middle of his body and funnels it into his stomach. OF: Long arm swing with a low 3/4 arm slot, INF: Medium arm swing with a 3/4 arm slot. INF - 66 MPH. OF - 64 MPH.
Pitching: Works with deliberate pace; short side step with leg lift to the belt, gets into back side as stride down in line, gets some shoulder tilt before pulling through to a repeatable release and follow through . Long, fluid arm swing to a clean 3/4 swing. FB: T67, 64-67 MPH. Commands in the zone with arm side sink. CB: 55 MPH. 1-5 shape.  CH: 58-61 MPH. Good sell with arm side fade.
