2/3/19 - Max FB: 84, FB (80-82), CB (66-69), CH (79-81)

6-0, 155-pound righty continues to improve every time we’ve seen him and touched 84 on his final pitch of his pen.  Medium, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just started adding muscle to his frame.  Pitches from a full wind-up into ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Drifts slightly at balance point, throws off timing occasionally and causes him to miss to his arm-side.  Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB flashes proper shape and rotation.  Firm straight CH, learning how to use his grip to manipulate the velocity and life.  Sprayed a little bit on this day, tools to be a strike-thrower.

9/30/18 - Max FB: 83, FB: 79-83, CB: 67-69, CH: 75-77
5-foot-11, 150-pound, RHP struck out 3 in his 2 innings of work.  Medium, athletic frame, long and lanky w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Pitches from the stretch only from the first base side of the rubber into H ¾ release.  Quick arm, waiting on lower half physical development to catch up to allow him to throw harder.  Can get stronger with the glove side, tends to be just along for the ride, will help with consistency w/ direction.  Straight FB w/ occasional short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation when he gets on top of it.  Firm straight CH w/ arm-speed.  Pounded the zone w/ the FB, developing feel for his secondary stuff, tools to command.
