Game Performance

Notes

7/14/20

5-foot-11, 150-pound projectable body frame. From the infield he has fluidity to his footwork while taking direct routes to the ball. Ball skills are on par with his class. Fields with softness to his hands and has a short arm action through a ¾ slot reaching a velocity of 71 mph across the infield. On the mound he throws with some effort required to his delivery landing slightly more closed at foot strike. Has quickness to his arm speed through a ¾ slot. Has good command of all of his pitches. Fastball is mostly true through the zone ranging from 70-73 mph and topped at 74 mph. Breaking ball has an 11/5 shape with sinking action at 61-62 mph. Mixed in a changeup throwing it near fastball arm speed. Right-handed hitter starts with his weight shifted slightly more towards his back leg. Swing is simple and efficient with a mostly level bat path through the zone. Showed the ability to hit the ball to all parts of the field during his round of BP while reaching an exit velocity of 85 mph. Had a single to left field and a single to center field in two out of his three plate appearances during game play. Ran a 7.67 60-yard dash.
