Hit: Right-handed hitter that starts in an upright setup. Uses a slight back lod to hands during double tpa timing trigger. Takes a slightly downhill path to contact with balanced strength/speed to stroke. WOrked middle of the field in BP with low line drive flight. Ball comes off well when squared. Power: Line drive pop. Offensive Projection: Table setter. Field: Throw: Defensive Projection:
Scouting Notes: A freshman to keep an eye on out of Wayne HS. Delivery comes together well, requiring regular effort. Compact, clean arm that comes through a high-3/4 slot. Shows physical signs of more gas in the tank. Fastball: Top offering so far. Should see easy velo addition to a pitch that is already heavy. Quality sink when working arm side. Breaking Ball: Breaking ball has tight, late action with a balanced combination of horizontal/vertical action. Slider has a similar look to curveball with a bit more depth. Changeup: Also tossed a changeup that he has developing feel for. Pitchability: In/out throughout the bullpen.
