Physical: The recent West Chester commit stands a lengthy, projectable 6-foot-2, 175lbs. 

Pitching: Worked from the stretch-only primarily off the left side of the rubber; came set at a slightly offset position as the leg raised straight-up to the top of the stack. Able to create a balanced, explosive downhill move into footstrike, releasing from an OTT slot with heavy action into the zone. The FB ranged from 83-85 mph at 1780rpms, finding the zone at a 27% clip. Mixed a two-plane 67-69 mph CB that could miss barrels when leveraged (late depth). Countered with a small-fading 74-76 mph CH thrown with good sell.

Physical: Projectable, lengthy 6-foot-2, 175lb frame with athleticism on the bump; West Chester commit.

Pitching: RHP - Starts from the stretch only off the left side of the rubber - medium leg lift, just above waist height showing slight hip coil at the top. Able to maintain posture into footstrike with a north/south operation creating heavy downward tilt on all pitches with leverage at H ¾ slot. The FB ranged from 83-85 mph creating ground balls and weak contact, mixing a 68-69 mph CB with depth to it (11/5 tilt). Later added a short fading 78-79 mph CH with some deception at release (good sell out in front).

Physical: Projectable, loose athlete at 6-foot-2, 175-pounds with mound feel and natural starter’s traits on the bump. 

Pitching: RHP - The righty started off the left side of the rubber from the stretch only. Impressive arm talent from a lengthy high ¾ slot getting good separation and arm speed through release. Even stack, gets balanced and then drives out repeatedly towards the mitt and worked on-time in the movements. Pounded the zone missing barrels with an 84-86, T88 mph FB with occasional carry and life up above the letters. Dropped in/landed a loopy 67-69 mph breaker with two-plane shape and 11/5 tilt that hitters had a tough time picking up. Consistently killed spin on a 74-75 mph CH 10-12 mph off the FB with some depth.

Physical: Long and lean, high waisted athlete, highly projectable 6-foot-2, 168-pound frame. 7.55 runner in the 60.

Offensively: Upright stance with his feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Hands start about ear high and work back on load along with a quick leg lift. Barrel enters the zone quickly thanks to fast hands and an engaged lower half. Generates plenty of hard contact in the air with his slightly uphill swing plane. 88 mph peak bat exit during his Trackman BP round.

Defensively: Starts bent over at the waist and moves well laterally to both sides. Gets his glove out in front of his body and showcases some soft hands. 81 mph arm from the hot corner out of a ¾ arm slot

Pitching: Works from the stretch and comes set at the belt, he brings his hands up along with a high leg lift. Uses his backside well in his stride towards home plate. Uses a moderate take back with a high ¾ arm slot.

Fastball: Topping at 86 mph, his fastball shows life through the zone with some arm side run. Able to spot down in the zone.

Curveball: Short-breaking, 11-5 shape.

6-foot-2, 168-pound two-way prospect turned in one of the top all-around performances of the day. The left-handed hitter starts from a square stance and uses a lift-and-replace stride to begin. Stays behind the baseball well creating back spin and hands work well through contact. Registered and 86 mph bat exit velocity and ran a 7.56 60-yard dash. Showcased athletic actions at third base with active feet and easy 82 mph arm strength across the diamond. The righty sat 84-86 from a high 3/4 arm slot working solely out of the stretch on the bump. Showed a balanced, repeatable delivery with a quick arm and a fastball that lacks movement. Curveball at 68-70 has biting 11/5 rotation with depth, but is thrown with cross fire action at times. Showed above average feel for the changeup at 75-78 with good arm speed. Like the fastball, changeup is flat.

6-foot-1, 160-pounder has an athletic frame which has room to fill out in time. He sat 80-81 out of a high 3/4 arm slot with the ability to create swing and miss up in the zone. His curveball, while still in development, flashed solid depth at 62-65 with 11/5 rotation. A knuckle ball used as his third pitch needs to be eliminated and replaced with a changeup or cutter.

6-foot-1, 160-pound left-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Showcased balance throughout with a feel for the barrel. Registered a bat exit velocity of 79 mph and ran a 7.62 60-yard dash. Showcased a soft glove hand and capable footwork around the bag at first base with accurate 77 mph arm strength across the diamond. The righty sat 80-82 with effort from a high 3/4 arm slot with a hip coil in his delivery. Curveball sat 65-69 with gradual 11/5 break and changeup was relatively flat at 71-74.
