6/29/20

6/16/20
6/16/20 Pitching Scouting Notes:Obvious athleticism on the mound with pitchability. Works quickly with good tempo. Long back arm action through a high-3/4 slot. Fastball should see easy velo increases as physical maturation takes its course. Both breaking balls and changeup are above average offerings for class. Slider was very sharp getting consistent swing/miss.

2/9/20 Pitching Delivery Notes: Boles work from the middle of the rubber and shows a somewhat low ¾ arm slot which is accentuated by the slight crossfire nature of his delivery. He builds momentum down the mound fairly well. Fastball: The fastball was 79-81 mph and showed mostly true through the zone. Curveball: His breaking ball was 66-69 mph was a slurvey shape and didn’t presently show a ton of bite but has the potential into a higher quality offering. Changeup: The changeup was 70-73 mph. Pitchability: Pretty good feel for his three pitch mix. Secondary offerings still show some degree of need for refinement but overall moves athletically on the mound and creates good leverage with his long levers. Definitely a guy who could see a big velo spike as he adds strength to his frame.
2/9/20 Position Player Hit: At the plate he shows a simple hip hinge load and shows a bit of stiffness to his swing. Shows a line drive approach. Power: 70 mph exit velocity. Offensive Projection: Presently projects to be more of an average hitter than gap to gap or power guy. Shows good athleticism at times but lacks some basic fundamental skills. Still an overall projectable prospect. Field: In the infield he aggressively attacked the ball with good rhythm and timing. He showed good hands a quick, efficient transfer on his throws. In the outfield he showed below average footwork and rhythm and was overly two handed when attacking balls. Shows quick arm and good carry on his throws. Throw: 72 mph across the diamond and 85 mph from the outfield. Defensive Projection: Showed good raw arm strength from the outfield but much more defensive polish and better instincts in the infield. Good athleticism and could project at either IF or OF at the next level.

A feel hitter that can square the ball up regular generating easy backspin. A rangy defender up the middle of the infield with aggressive feet. Ball skills are above average for age.
