Future Games Report: 

Right Handed hitter, frame is physical, strength throughout, put together well.  At the plate, taller stance, small controlled leg kick, gains ground. The swing is loose, with leverage to it, has enough juice to beat the outfielders to the pull side. Batting practice showed hard contact, with multiple balls leaving the yard. Defensively, moves well at first base, glove is soft, has plenty of arm to start and turn double plays. A two-way player off the mound,  a right-handed pitcher, shows tons of  projection. The delivery is simple and repeats it, tall on the backside, arm action is loose and free working from a high 3/4 slot.  The fastball is in the low 80's, fastball is heavy, sink and bore to it. Mixed in a breaking ball, showing depth and tilt to it.  Big follow for me off the mound. Stat Line, 2 IP, 1R, 1 H, 2 K, 2 BB.
