Delivery/Scouting Notes: 6-foot-1, projectable frame with a ton of room to add strength. Very loose arm with an upper 70s fastball that will easily add velocity as he matures physical. Also showed an above average changeup. Definitely an arm to follow for when he hits impending velocity jump.
Fastball: Expect more velo down the road. Mostly true through the zone with occasional sink.
Breaking Ball: 10/4 shape, pops out of the hand.
Changeup: The better of the two secondary offerings on the day. Good sell with late action.
Pitchability: Strike thrower for the most part.
Scouting Notes: 2022 RHP out of Vandalia butler. Drop/drive type actions down the mound. Arm is long/loose through a high-3/4 slot. Expect more velo as physical maturation takes its course.
Fastball: 74-76mph.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1978-2128rpm.
Breaking Ball: 59-61mph..
Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1784-1878rpm.
Changeup:
1/20/20 Pitching
Delivery Notes: Thin right-hander with a ton of room to add strength. Arm really works through a high-3/4 slot. Loose, quick arm. Expect much more velo down the road.
Fastball: Mostly true through the zone. Velo jump candidate. 70-73 mph.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1900-2100
Curveball: 10/4 slurvish look to it. Still developing the offering. 61-62 mph.
Curveball Spin Rate: 1600-1800
Changeup: Maintains arm speed on the offering that showed fading action to it.
Pitchability:
