6/23/20
Scouting Notes:Young, left-handed pitcher with much more physical maturation on its way. Work with a fluid tempo on the mound to a delivery that doesn't require much effort. Filled up the zone with his fastball/breaking ball combination. Expect the radar gun to look much different before it's all said and done. Fastball:68-71 mph. Fastball Spin Rate:1580-1882 Curveball:54-55 mph. Curveball Spin Rate:1478-1526 Changeup: 64-66 mph.

Hit:Left-handed hitter that starts in a balanced stance. Smooth, simple load followed by a level path. Rotational swing sequence. Pull side tendencies in BP. Good intent behind stroke. Much more to come as he fills out his athletic frame. Power:Line drive pop now with more to come. Offensive Projection: Table setter presently. Max BP Exit:80 mph Max BP Distance:253 ft Field:In the outfield he plays with an aggressive tempo in his approach. Tempo slows a bit during playthrough where ehe displays ball skills that are serviceable. Throw:High-3/4 lefty with a compact arm. Strength is developing. Defensive Projection:TBD.

2/8/20 Pitching Delivery Notes:On the mound the southpaw has good tempo to a delivery that requires some effort. High-3/4 lefty with compact, quick arm. More to come as physical maturation takes its course Fastball: Mostly true through the zone with occasional arm side action. 70-73 mph. Fastball Spin Rate:1800-2000 Curveball: 1/7, sharper offering with hard dive to it. Still developing feel for the offering. 56-60 mph. Curveball Spin Rate: 1500-1620 Changeup: Good feel for the offering that looks to be a legitimate option in his repertoire. Pitchability: Strike thrower for the most part.
2/8/20 Position Player Hit: Left-handed hitter with a quiet load followed by a level path. Natural tools are solid for class with more to come. Aggressive swinger that worked in the middle of the field in BP. Power: Line drive pop. Offensive Projection: TBD.
