2/10/19

Power: 75 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection: Swing shows some pull tendencies with a line drive/ hard ground ball type of bat path. Good bat to ball ability.

Field: In the infield he showed a very smooth release with below average angles through the ball. Fielded very two handed.

2/10/19 Pitching

Body Type: 5-foot-10 150-pound prospect with room to add strength.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Work out of the stretch. A little funk with some moving parts. A lot of extension through release, requires some effort.
Fastball: 72-74 mph fastball worked out of a ¾ slot with slight sinking action. Showed occasional cut when thrown glove side.

Curveball: 60-61 mph curveball shows early with gradual break with a near 12/6 shape.
Changeup: 66-67 mph changeup is thrown with fastball like arm speed. The pitch is mostly straight with slight cutting action.
Pitchability: Struggled to repeat the delivery which likely caused him to be a little erratic during the session. Needs to continue to develop both secondary offerings as they are presently below average offerings.
