Scouting Notes: Potential power arm in 2022 class. Velo was a bit down, understandably so as he is coming off an outing this weekend. Up to 82mph but we've seen him up to 87 mph prior. Showed solid feel for the breaking ball, dropping it in the zone consistently. Breaking ball grades out as a well above average pitch. Fastball: 78-82mph. Fastball Spin Rate: 1561-1903 Breaking Ball: 68-71mph. Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1982-2039

Power: 85 mph tee ev. Present gap abilities.
Offensive Projection: Run producer traits.

Hit: Swing is more physical than it is fast on a level plane. Stays inside the baseball well, working to the middle of the field. Middle of the lineup upside.
Power: 77 mph exit velocity. Line drive swinger with gap abilities. Much more to come.
Offensive Projection: Run Producer ceiling.
Run: 5.34 H-1st.

2/14/19

Pitching

Body Type: 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Tall, projectable body.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Nice arm action out of a ¾ arm slot in his delivery showing early ability to utilize his body well mechanically. Fluid motion the provides good intent with actions.
Fastball: 74-76 mph. Heavier arm-side run with late action and accurate with it.

Curveball: 63-65 mph. Tight spin on this breaker with 11-6 tilt. Commands it very well and improved it as he threw more of them.

Changeup: 64-67 mph. Light arm-side run with depth. Threw it more effectively out of the stretch leading to increased movement and locating ability.

Pitchability: Powerful arm with high expectations in his future. Showed light with his off-speed which will both progress as his body fills out. High ceiling for this righty on the mound.

Role: TBD.
