1/26/19 Pitching

Body Type: 6-foot-1 190-pound prospect with an athletic build.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Moderate tempo delivery, creates some deception with high glove side, shows good direction. Works out of a short arm action and high-¾ slot.

Fastball: 73-75 mph fastball mostly straight working on a downhill plane. Show occasional run when thrown arm side.

Curveball: 58-60 mph 11/5 breaking ball with early slurvish break. Has potential to be a solide pitch moving forward.

Changeup: N/A

Pitchability: Only offered two pitches during this showing, both show promise. Fastball has nice downward plane but was a bit erratic at times. Showed ability to fill the zone with the breaking ball.

Role: Present makeup and stuff lean towards a role in the bullpen, likely a mid-relief type role given his lack of command or dominate pitch.
