The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
Physical: Premium 6-foot-4, 175lb build with some of the highest upside in the class.
Pitching: RHP. Sets up off the left side of the rubber; short drop-step before a balanced leg-lift at the top of the stack. Separates down the slope while holding the upper-half back with flexibility through a H ¾ slot. Created easy velocity to the arm-side of the plate at 88-90 mph (2316), challenging hitters from the outset. Mixed a quality mid-70’s breaker that fell off the table (2350) for strikeouts.
6/15/21
Physical: High-waisted, athletic 6-foot-2, 185lb frame with obvious projection and leverage on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber with a medium side rocker step into a stack position at waist height. Balanced move down the slope, getting into footstrike at a slight crossfire, creating some deception from an upper half, H ¾ release. The FB entered for strikes at 79-81 mph (good carry, some arm-side run at times) and mixed a 69-71 mph CB with some sweep across the plate. Would later mix a 70-71 mph CH with killed spin (1662rpms AVG via Trackman, 10+ inches fade).
