Body Type: 6-foot-2, 210-pound physical frame. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Whip like 3/4 arm action being close to the ground near release point. Hard to gauge lower half utilization because of lower half being so close to ground during delivery. Fastball: 81-83mph. Arm side movement. Comfortable on outside corner of plate. Curveball: 65-67mph curveball with 11/5 movement missing down and away from zone. 71-73mph slider that still missed low in the zone. Changeup: 74-77mph. Almost enough difference from fastball to keep hitters off balance. Could indicate more velocity in fastball. Pitchability: Fair share of strikeouts but could increase consistency in the zone. Additional Comments: Pitches have good movement.

A righty swinger that starts in a balanced setup. Hands stay quiet during leg kick timing trigger. Path is slightly downhill with a bit more strength than speed through the zone. Ball comes off well, flashing gap abilities. At first base he plays under control off the bag, showing feel for the spot. Does a nice job with his feet to create angles prior to fielding on double plays balls. Ball skills are above average for class. What a difference a year has made on the mound. Fastball has jumped and breaking ball was noticeable sharper. Long lever type on that gets down the mound well. Long back arm action through a high-3/4 slot. Fastball showed slight run sitting 76-80 mph. Spins a sharp, 11/5 shaped breaking ball that was used to get ahead of or put hitters away at 65-66 mph. Completing his arsenal is a 56-59 mph change up that has some fade to it. Arm to follow.

5-foot-11, 170 pound athletic frame. The right hander has a loose arm and throws from a ¾ arm slot. He gathers momentum by tilting his front shoulder up while starting his break towards the plate. He consistently stays on a straight line to the plate. His fastball tends to run back in on right handed hitters. The off speed is more of a slurve that breaks from a 10 to 4 plane.A righty swinger that starts in an athletic setup. Loading sequence is fluid, using a controlled stride for timing, Barrel maintains fluidity prior to swing decision. Path is mostly level, with barrel authority through contact. Swing with intent. Natural tools are well above average and he should grow into a run producer down the road. An ideal frame for the first base position. Showed feel around the bag. Plays with confidence in his glove in and out of his funnel. Would like to see him play lower.
