Curry

6-foot-1, 185 pounds with a developed build and proportional frame. At the plate, sets up with a square lower half and feet at shoulder width apart. Slight bend in knees with weight centered. Hands stay below rear shoulder and show some slight movement/rhythm. Takes a short, quick stride into forward move with minimal hand shift. Attacks the ball with a slight uphill path. Stays tall and creates leverage with his lower half. Defensively, starts with a tall, narrow base at the hot corner before making his first step towards the ball. Flashed some adjustability with his glove hand while funneling in. Let’s ball travel into his stance and catches it deeper before getting into exchange. High takeaway on exchange with short arm action and low ¾ release. On the mound, worked exclusively out of the stretch, keeping clean direction towards his target and landing on line with his stride. Stays tall at leg lift with a slight coil into his back hip. Pushes lead hip out as he separates and gets down the mound. Longer stride for his height. Slight glove tap to create tempo in arm swing. Uses same high takeaway as the INF, getting arm into cocked position and landing, staying on time with his delivery. Loose finish out front with a ¾ release point.
