1/22/17
Starts in a wider setup at the plate. Hands move back to launch during short stride forward. Path is is level to slightly uphill. Stronger than he is fast with the bat at this stage. Would like to see a more efficient lower half to let his natural tools show in swing. Had solid pop when he found the barrel in batting practice. Behind the plate he starts in an athletic crouch. Footwork is quick and efficient. Exchange skills is the area for improvement.

At the plate he starts in a wider setup and uses little movement with his lower half prior to his short stride forward. Bat gets vertical prior to taking a mostly level path to the ball. Very strong kid with above average bat speed. Swings with intent and confidence. Worked through a middle away approach, showing the ability to drive the ball with authority. Behind the plate he starts in a lower crouch, pre-setting his footwork prior to his throws to second. Transfer skills are adequate. Keeps weight on his back leg on throws.

Behind the plate he starts in a low crouch and does a nice job of getting in line to second base. Footwork and transfer skills are adequate. Needs to be more consistently on target with his throws. A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. Uses a double tap load and short stride to get his lower half going. Barrel gets flat prior to launch. Keeps his weight on back leg causing an uphill path. Strong kid, ball came off his bat well when he found the barrel.

6-foot, 175-pound prospect that throws from a ¾ slot. Slow tempo to his delivery with tendency to open his front side early. Fastball sits at 73-75 mph and creates natural run due to mechanics with his front side. Changeup sat at 66-68 mph with arm side movement. Tendency to slow down his arm action with the pitch. Tendency to be on the side of his breaking ball, which sat at 64-65 mph. Pitch shows spin and stays on the same plane. At the plate he starts in an athletic stance and uses a double tap load to gather weight and stride. He starts with his bat vertical and does a good job of getting his barrel on plane early and taking a flat path to the ball. Exit velocity was 81 mph.
