Mechanical/Delivery Notes: High leg kick with a quick arm action. Good lower half but lands slightly closed off. Overall smooth delivery with more in the tank fine tuning mechanics.
Fastball: 76-77mph. Average spin rate near 2,000 rpm’s with mid 90% efficiency. Ability to consistently locate in the zone.
Curveball: 61-65mph. Tight movement on a 11/5 plane. Thrown in the zone most of the time.
Changeup: 68-69mph. Slight arm side drop with ability to throw in zone some of the time and was used sparingly.
Pitchability: In the zone most of the time.
12/11/16 A 5-foot-10, 140-pound prospect. On the mound the right-hander has a quicker tempo to a delivery he is able to repeat. Arm action is clean and he lands in line to home plate. Working through a high-¾ slot his fastball sat 65-66 mph. Has a tendency to slow arm on off speed. Breaking ball has an 11/5 shape with gradual break at 50-53 mph. Mixed in a knuckle ball that had dance to it. At the plate he takes his hands slightly back during his stride forward. Bat gets through the zone on a level path. Found the barrell more often than not in batting practice and he reached a top exit velocity of 68 mph. In the infield he showed confidence in his glove and threw across the infield with 66 mph arm strength. Would be aided by more efficient footwork approaching the ball to field through it more cleanly.
1/31/16 5-foot-6, 145-pound small build. On the mound, he shows little rhythm in his delivery. Shows good direction to the plate, landing on line at foot strike. Throws from a short arm action into a high ¾ slot with average arm speed. Fastball sat 61-65 mph. Curveball sat 50-53 mph with gradual break. Changeup sat 58-59 mph.
