Physical: 6-0, 170 pounds; Proportional, Slight build. Pitching: Uses a glove side setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride landing inline with the plate. Long arm swing while arm stays in line with 2B; standard 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 85 MPH, while sitting 81-84 MPH; commands both sides. SL: 71-76 MPH; 2-tier break. CH: 71-72 MPH; fading action.
Pitching: RHP. Side shuffle before gaining pace down the slope with a big hip coil at the top of the stack. Utilized a quality front side block and fast arm at H ¾ slot; delivered a riding FB at 82-84, T85 mph with 2300+rpms and manipulated low-70’s SL with varied command. Added developing 71-74 mph CH that showed occasional fade. Power profile down the road with intentful finish out in front.
Pitching: RHP - Quicker pace after leg lift, getting to a higher hip-coiled position, and unwinded down the slope into footstrike. Got the ball and went, full arm-circle into a H ¾ slot with good arm-speed. Solid front side block and landed the FB at 84-86 mph for strikes, arm-side run. Mixed a sharp, sweeping 67-69 mph CB with feel for spin (2300+rpms) that has the makings of a future out pitch. An arm to know in the class.
