Notes

2/16/20

2/16/20 Position Player
Hit: Balanced setup in the box, shows back load to hands during small leg lift timing trigger, level to slightly downhill path that generates natural whip. Average natural tools presently that project for much more as he fills out that very projectable, 6-foot-2 frame. Stays inside the baseball nicely. Middle-back approach for the most part. 
Power: Top rapsodo exit velocity was 77.7 mph in BP, while top rapsodo distance registered at 250 feet. More in the tank.
Offensive Projection: TBD, run producer upside.
Field: Quiet actions in the infield, controlled pace, flashed the ability to make plays outside of funnell, ball skills are on par for class.
Throw: 71 mph arm strength across the infield.
Defensive Projection: Corner guy. 

2/16/20 Pitching
Delivery Notes: Uptempo pace on the mound to a delivery that requires regular effort. Drop/drive type loading sequence to lower half. Arm works well, similar to hitting in that velo should jump as he adds strength to his frame. Efficient mover in general.
Fastball: 80 mph present velocity with a higher velocity ceiling, mostly true through the zone, worked both sides of the plate.
Curveball: 11/5 shape, gradual action, loses a bit of arm speed on the offering. 60-62 mph.
Changeup: Good sell, late fade, showed flashes of a more than serviceable secondary offering.

7/10/19

Body Type: 6-foot-2, 170-pound frame.
Swing Mechanics: Righty swinger that starts in a balanced stance. Loading sequence is simple and fluid.
Hit: Balanced launch with a downhill path to contact. Presently offering more speed than strength to stroke. Worked well to the middle of the field in BP. Much more pop to come as he fills out that athletic frame.
Power: 83.8 mph off the bat in BP.
Offensive Projection: TBD.

Field:  Plays with quiet feet in the infield. Ball skills are on par for his class.

Throw:  Over the top arm slot with developing arm strength.

Defensive Projection:  Corner infield.

 

Body Type: 6-foot-2, 170-pound thin projectable frame.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Quick tempo delivery that is efficient and repeatable. Works out of a high-3/4 slot.

Fastball: Fastball is easy out of the hand at 76-78 mph. The pitch has plus run to the arm side, with more velocity in the tank.

Curveball: Breaking ball has good spin to it. The pitch has a big 11/5 shape, shows early at times but is developing depth at 60-62 mph.

Changeup: N/A

Pitchability: Advanced feel for the breaking ball, should develop into a solid out pitch. Fastball has lots of potential. Threw strikes.
