4/24/15 Medium frame with strong lower half. Good mound presence, works fast, and pitches out of a low-3/4 slot. Gets collected on his backside over the rubber well. FB sat 78-81 with consistent tail. Blood got boiling after a bases loaded ground ball sneaked through the 4-hole; the next two pitches were 82- and 83-mph. Showed a feel for spinning his CB at 66-68 and also utilized a CH at 72-74. Got lots of ground balls (only four of 16 balls put in play off him were elevated by the hitters).
