1/21/19 Pitching

Body Type: 5-foot-10 150-pound prospect with room to add strength.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Compact delivery, creates some deception with high glove side. Slightly open at foot contact. Works out of a short arm action and ¾ slot.

Fastball: 77-78 mph fastball is mostly straight with occasional run to the arm side.

Slider: 67-68 mph slider has a tight late breaking 11/5 action through the zone.

Changeup: 71-73 mph changeup is thrown with good arm speed and has hard sinking action at the plate.

Pitchability: Worked fastball to both sides of the plate. Both secondary offering are above average pitches. Slider has potential to be a swing and miss pitch. Changeup works well off the fastball and could miss some barrels.

Role: Potential starter or long reliever type. Strike thrower with two solid secondary pitches who should see an uptick in velocity with some maturity.

Ran a 7.49 60-yard dash. In the infield he does a nice job cutting down distance prior to fielding. Plays fast to and through the baseball. Transfer shows urgency and throws were on target across the diamond with 75 mph arm strength. Looked athletic and comfortable at the plate. Incorporates lower half efficiently through a toe turn load. Barrel maintains rhythm and momentum through load into swing decision. Swing is compact and level displaying above average strength/bat speed through the zone. A line drive guy with gap abilities and feel for the barrel to both sides of the field. Reached a top exit velocity of 79 mph. On the mound the right-hander has a fluid, low effort delivery. Ball comes out of his hand well with his fastball sitting 73-75 mph. The pitch will show regular arm side run. Maintains arm speed on his changeup that has run and dive to it at 66-68 mph. Also spins a 10/4 shaped breaking ball that depth to it with tight action at 62-63 mph.
