2/7/18
On the mound the southpaw has a rhythmic delivery that requires some effort. Arm action is compact through a high-¾ slot. Fastball will stay mostly true through the zone at 74-76 mph. Expect more velocity as physical maturation takes its course. Breaking ball has a 1/7 shape while moving on a 1/7 plane. Tosses the offering with confidence and consistently in the zone at 64-65 mph. Wrapping up his arsenal is a 64-67 mph changeup that has slight fade to it. Two-way prospect. At the plate starts in a strong, athletic position. Lower half is simple, creating easy timing. Swing is compact with obvious quickness through the zone. Bat speed is ahead when it comes to natural tools but definitely has some strength to his hands as well. A line drive type with feel for the barrel. Solid bat. In the outfield he plays fast and shows obvious confidence in his glove as he plays through the baseball. Has more arm strength than velocity would suggest. Present fit is in the left field.
60-yard dash: 7.58
Outfield Velocity: 71
Exit Velocity: 81
9/30/17
A two-prospect in the 2019 class. Ran a 7.44 60-yard dash. A lefty bat that starts in a balanced setup. Used a simple approach early in his round before adding rhythm and movement as the round went on. Showed both an early foot down load and a double tap. Swings shows more athleticism and energy through the double tap. When he pulls the trigger he shows a smooth, level swing. Natural tools are developing. Contact type guy presently with more in there with maturity. Registered an exit velocity of 76 mph. In the outfield he plays under control to and through the baseball. Uses a crow hop for momentum after fielding. Displayed 70 mph arm strength to home plate. Presently profiles as a left-fielder. On the mound he has a smooth delivery that requires little effort. Works through a high-¾ slot with his fastball sitting 70-73 mph. The pitch has regular arm side run. Spins a 1/7 breaking ball that comes in at 60-62 mph. A strike thrower that can use both offerings in most counts.
2/9/17
5-foot-11, 155-pound prospect. Starts open at the plate prior to getting his front foot down very early. Hands stay simple during loading sequence. Swing is compact with above average bat speed. Ball came off his bat well and he found the barrel often. Has the natural tools to hit in the middle of the lineup. An athletic outfielder that showed solid feel for the position. Plays through the baseball aggressively and gets rid of it quickly. Would like to see him finish his throws more often. The southpaw uses smooth tempo to his delivery while throwing through a ¾ slot. Uses short arm action while offering a 70-73 mph fastball. His curveball offers added depth to 1/7 break at 61-62 mph. Changeup displays near fastball arm speed while sitting between 66-69 mph.
60-yard Dash: 7.95
Outfield Velocity: 73
Exit Velocity: 82
