2/9/20 Pitching Delivery Notes: Athletic, fluid delivery through a ¾ arm slot. Gets downhill with intent. Utilizes his lower half incorporating a high leg kick. Frame suggests more mph’s to come as he fills out. Lower spin rate guy at the moment. Fastball: True four-seam fastball. Continues to add more life as we have seen him grow physically. Fastball Spin Rate: 1820-2030. Curveball: 11/5 shape breaking ball with gradual break. Above average pitch. Curveball Spin Rate: 2189-2316. Changeup: Changeup looked really good when in the zone. Thrown with deception and enough ticks off the fastball to keep guys off balanced.
7/01/19
Body Type: 6-foot-3, 205-pound very athletic frame. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Moves well out there. Good athlete that has feel for his movements and can repeat. Quick arm through a high-¾ slot. Fastball: 79-83 mph. Ball comes out well. We’ve seen him sit in the mid 80s earlier this summer. Curveball: 65-66 mph. Above average offering. 11/5 shaped breaker that has a nice combination of depth and action to it. Pitchability: In the zone for the most of his outing. Additional Comments: Velo was a bit down but the athleticism and arm speed is there. High follow in his class.
6/11/19
Body Type: 6-foot-3, 205-pound athletic, well put together prospect.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Works fast. Uptempo delivery that doesn’t require much effort. Arm works well through a high-¾ slot with above average arm speed. Drop and drive type who gets down the mound well. Good athlete out there.
Fastball: Comes out well, sat 83-85 mph through most of his outing. Easy velocity. Should continue to see velocity jumps as he matures.
Curveball: 67-68 mph. Big breaking ball that has a slurvish look to it. Uses the offering as his put away pitch.
Slider: 71-72 mph. May be the more developed of the two breakers with later, tighter action as it darts through the zone.
Pitchability: Filled it up with the fastball and used the breakers to get chases rather than get me over.
Swing mechanics: Leg kick with a bat tip. Smooth and fluid swing.
Hit: Works inside the baseball with a smooth and level swing path.
Power: flashes pop. Flashes of pop during BP. More to come as he develops and adds size.
Offensive Projection: Top of the lineup guy. Field: Athleticism shows in the infield. Gets around the ball well and plays through with rhythm. Throw: Big arm that plays all over the field. Defensive Projection: Multiple positions.
