A 6-foot-3, 170-pound prospect with long limbs and room in his frame to fill out. His fastball worked downhill while sitting 83-85 mph and was complimented by his tight, late breaking slider at 70-73 mph. Has a tendency to leave changeup up in the zone at times but is a good pitch when he keeps it down.

One of the top uncommitted arms in Ohio’s class of 2016. The 6-foot-3, 170-pound prospect is on the follow list this spring for many DI programs. Currently holds offers from several DII programs. On this occasion, his fastball ran up to 85 mph with good arm side run. He continues to show some deception to his delivery out of the release point. Sells his 74-75 mph changeup with good arm action. Also mixed in a hard, tight breaking ball at 71-73 mph.

6-foot-3, 165-pound projectable frame with room to fill out. On the mound he has up tempo delivery with a short stride with good direction and needs to get his back side thru more.

Struck out 3 in his 2 inning outing.

8/9/15
6-foot-3, 165 pounds with a projectable pitchers body. Arm speed shows quickness through a high 3/4 slot with shortness in arm action. The right hander offers a solid three pitch mix. His 84-87 mph fastball shows some arm-side run in the zone. Best offspeed pitch is his 73-75 mph slider that breaks hard through the zone. Tandem that with his 76-78 mph changeup with run and he will have no problem getting hitters out.

6-foot-2, 147-pound prospect with tall, athletic frame. Long, loose, and easy through high ¾ arm slot. Projectable arm. He sat at 79-81 mph with some run. Breaking ball showed late 11/5 action at 65-67 mph. Changeup is thrown near fastball arm speed with good arm side fade at 71-73 mph. Could be the sleeper prospect of this event. Could see a big jump in velocity as he matures and adds strength to his frame.
