6-foot, 160-pound, average athletic frame, shoulders are squared off, has room to fill out, strength is a must, as he gets stronger the game will take off. The delivery is clean and easy, has rhythm and tempo to it. The arm action is fluid on the backside, works out of a lower ¾ slot. The fastball was clocked at 68-72 mph, located the baseball down in the zone with action to the arm side. The breaking ball is an above average pitch for his age, late break, tilt to it, showed proper spin and shape to it, clocked at 61-64 mph. Pounded the zone with both pitches, pitched a clean inning. Offensively, hits from the left side, stance is staller, feet are closer together, hands are loose, set slightly lower. The swing is fluid, with life to the barrel out front. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 78 mph, with a ton more in there as he gets stronger. Defensively, has serious feel around the bag at first base. The hands are soft, has good flow in starting the double play. The arm works clean, throws were on the bag, clocked at 73 mph. Look for big things from this one, game will take off at some point. Strength and conditioning are a must.
