2/8/20 Pitching Delivery Notes:Quick tempo'd righty with a quick arm. Frame has room to add strength and as he does velo should follow. Moves well out there. Fastball: Mostly true through the zone. Arm side action at times. Fastball Spin Rate:2020-2100 Curveball: 11/5 shaped, gradual action. Will only get tighter as velo enhances. Curveball Spin Rate: 1700-1900 Changeup: Maintains arm speed on the offering that has a near fastball look out of the hand. Pitchability: Strike thrower for most part.
2/8/20 Position Player Hit: Right-handed hitter that starts in an upright stance. Goes with a back load to hands during controlled stride for timing. Balanced launch with a slightly downhill path. Stays compact throughout. Balanced offering of strength and speed to hands, both tools with room to develop. Showed athleticism in the box, with the ability to square the ball up frequently to the middle of the field. Power: Line drive pop. Offensive Projection: TBD. Top Rapsodo BP Exit Velocity: 83 Top Rapsodo BP Distance:149 Field: In the outfield he showed athleticism to his actions with above average ball skills. Throw: Clean arm with some jump out of the hand now and more to come. Defensive Projection: Multiple Spots.
2/2/19 Body Type: 5-foot-8, 125-pound prospect. Swing Mechanics: Right-handed hitter that starts in an upright stance. Flows through load with a small double tap during slight back load with hands. Hit: Looks athletic and comfortable in the box. Compact, downhill stroke with feel for the barrel. Would benefit from adding loft to stroke. More present natural ball flight to pull side. Power: 76 mph exit velocity. Still developing physically. Presently shows a bit more speed than strength to swing. Line drive guy. Offensive Projection: Top of the Lineup. Run: 4.81 H-1st. Field: In the outfield he plays with quick feet and fluid actions. Looks athletic/comfortable out there. Mechanically sound with above average ball skills for class. Throw: 72 mph arm strength to home plate. Clean/loose arm with more strength to come. Defensive Projection: Multiple Positions.
2/2/19 Pitching
Body Type: 5-foot-8, 125 pound. Average build with room to add.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Throws with a ¾ arm slot and a longer arm action. Upper body gets ahead of lower half at times and head pulls out. Displayed a slower paced tempo throughout his delivery.
Fastball: 66-68 mph. Not much movement on it now which can expect improvement as he grows. Average velocity on it. Curveball: 53-55 mph. Developing further as arm motion slows down prior to release.
Changeup: 57-61 mph. Has some later arm-side run without depth. Keeps it around the zone often.
Pitchability: Movement and velocity has plenty of time to progress and both will become more effective as he fills into his body.
Role: TBD
