Thomas Life: 1B/RHP, (2022) Jackson, OH. 6-foot-4, 195-pound. Solid on the mound, using a loose arm action he showed consistent arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and shows easy effort. Balance point is tall with a downhill shoulders during delivery. Lands square with a clean finish. Threw his fastball 79-82 mph. Shows running action. (Max spin 2095; Avg 2043). Threw a 11/5 curveball (68-71) with slurvey action. (Max spin 2267; Avg 2209). His changeup (73-74) had some action.
Scouting Notes: 6-foot-4 arm with upside on the nump. Easier delivery with tall/fall actions down the hill. Expect more velocity to come as he fills out his frame. Also spins in a bigger shaped breaking ball with developing depth. An arm who should continue to trend upwards.
Fastball: 74-78mph.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1701-1943pm
Breaking Ball: 63-67mph.
Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1847rpm.
Hit:Very fluid, efficient movements prior to launch that create both balance and energy. Pull side approach in BP. Swing offers a balanced combination of physicality and speed.
Power:Gap abilities.
Offensive Projection:Middle ceiling.
Field:Showed well over at first base. Frame/skill set fit the position. Tools to be a solid defender over there.
Throw:More than enough strength for the position.
Defensive Projection:1B.
6-foot-4, 185-pound projectable body frame with long limbs. Good target to throw to at first base. Showed above average glove work with the ability to scoop short hops. Athletic footwork around and off the bag and cover ground. Reached a velocity of 74 mph on his throws. On the mound he throws using regular effort to his delivery landing in a straight line at foot strike finishing with his momentum carrying in good direction toward the plate. Has average arm speed coming through a high ¾ slot. Fastball was true through the zone at 74-77 mph and topped at 78 mph. Curveball has good depth on an 11/5 plane ranging from 65-67 mph. Throws his changeup using fastball arm speed at 68-69 mph. Right-handed hitter showed present strength in his swing. Balanced stance with hands getting to a good launch position with good bat angle and finishes his swing with a two-handed follow through. Showed the ability to hit the ball to both sides of the field while recording an exit velocity of 90 mph.
Body type: 6-foot-4, 170-pound thin frame.
Swing mechanics: Toe tap with little hand movement that gets everything in sync well.
Hit: Uphill bat path with a middle-back approach. Good feel in the box.
Power: Long levers that flashed pop. Line drive guy right now with more to come.
Offensive projection: TBD.
Field: Footwork around the bag is developing. Solid glove actions, dependable fielder.
Throw: Quick and clean transfer. Arm is still developing at this stage.
Defensive Projection: Firstbase
Thin and athletic frame. Stays connected pretty well with a loose arm that is straight over the top. Features a fastball that ranges from 71-72mph. A curveball that is developing into his secondary pitch. More in the tank as he develops and adds size.
