Fastball: Fastball was 77-80 mph and showed above average life through the zone with some ‘ride.’
Fastball Spin Rate: 2120-2190
Curveball: Breaking ball was 64-66 mph with a slurvey shape and decent bite.
Curveball Spin Rate: 2010-2110

2/10/19 Pitching

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Throws with a ¾ arm slot and has an even tempo to his motion with rhythm. Creates nice flow with his rocker style motion from the windup. Flashed an arm with strength for his class.

Fastball: 75-77 mph. Late arm-side run to it as it enters the hitting zone.

Curveball: 65-67 mph. Nice breaker starting that often started high and finished around the zone with a 10-4 tilt.

Changeup: 67-68 mph. Signs of tumble life late, but grip is developing as command can improve for more consistency. Did maintain it low.

Pitchability: Was more accurate and effective with pitches out of the stretch. Lower half engagement will improve and allow for better extension down the mound to add some velocity.
