Physical: Projectable, lengthy 5-foot-11, 150-pound frame with plenty of athleticism and feel on the bump. Swarthmore commit.
Pitching: Deliberate pace in the delivery with slight hip coil and fluidity in the hip drive out of the stack with quality straight line momentum towards the target. The arm played with repeatability through a quick, high ¾ arm-slot commanding an 83-86 mph FB with a max of 2303 spin rate per Trackman Baseball. Dropped in a two-plane curveball as the out pitch showing 11/5 shape at 70-72 mph getting up to 2262 RPM as well. Showcased feel for a 78-79 mph CH with fade to the arm-side and countered with a 74-76 mph SL showing more horizontal shape and wipeout 2469 RPM on the spin.
2/23/20
Demonstrated a long and lean 5-foot-10, 145-pound frame with present athleticism in his actions and room to add size and strength as he matures. The right-handed pitcher sat 83-84 mph out of a compact delivery and fluid, high ¾ arm-slot with noticeable athleticism in the arm-swing. Mixed in a tight 71-73 mph curveball that displayed sharp slider action across the zone. Countered with a 74-75 mph changeup featuring natural cut thrown with advanced sell. Commanded three pitches in the zone with feel for repeatability in his actions. A twitchy lower half created advanced-hip shoulder separation and present flexibility in his body allowed for a whippy arm-action.
