6/13/17 5-foot-10, 175-pound primary pitcher impressed in his one inning of work on the mound.  Sat 83-86 out of a high 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm and balanced delivery.  Also showcased an 11/5 breaking curveball with tight rotation.  The right-handed hitter starts from a wide stance and utilizes a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing.  Displayed an 81 mph bat exit velocity and went 3-for-6 with two doubles in game action.  Ran a 6.69 60-yard dash and showcased solid actions defensively with accurate 83 mph arm strength across the diamond.  Definite two-way abilities for the right college program.

8/19/16 - Northern York 2018 is a 5-foot-10, 170-pound right-handed pitcher with good arm speed. Out of an over-the-top slot he worked with a fastball that sat 81-82, touching 83, a tight 12/6 curveball at 66-71 that he used mostly as a chase offering, and a rare mid-70s change-up. At times, he would spin off hard toward the first base line, making his command inconsistent, but his stuff allowed him to record four strikeouts in two innings.
