2/12/20 Position Player Hit:Right-handed hitter that starts in an upright stance. Uses a short stride for timing during back load to hands. Slightly downhill stroke with more physicality than speed to swing presently. All fields approach in BP. Varied in ball flight, showing backspin capabilities. Power:Should grow into regular gfap abilities. Offensive Projection:Middle potential. Top BP Rapsodo Exit Velocity:78 Top BP Rapsodo Distance: 284 Field:Young defender with an above average skill set for class. SMooth actions with feel for his feet and hands. Throw:3/4 righty with an easier release. More strength to come. Defensive Projection:TBD.
2/12/20 Pitching Delivery Notes:Physical presence for class. Easy delivery with arm traveling through a high-3/4 slot. Good feel for his movements, considering how young he is. Much more to come. Fastball:Mostly true, moved the pitch around the zone. Sat 69-72 mph. Fastball Spin Rate:1780-1850 Curveball:Big, 11/5 shaped offering that dives through the zone at 59-62 mph.
