6-foot-2, 180-pound, RHP shows intriguing stuff from a L 3/4 slot when he opts to pitch from it.  Tall, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned strength, projectable.  Has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Pitches from a full wind-up into anywhere from a L ¾ to H ¾ slot from the first base side of the rubber.  Throws slightly across his body.  From the low ¾ slot, arm shows looseness and some arm-speed.  Occasional downhill plane, angle.  Trying to decide which arm slot to consistently pitch at, would like to see him convert to side-arm and allow the looseness of his arm to play.  FB shows arm-side run from the low slot, flattens and straightens out from the over the top release.  Mixed in medium downer CB that flashes proper shape and depth.  Spiked the second CB he threw.  Sprayed the zone, developing the repeatability of the delivery to throw consistent strikes.  Shows ability to generate swing and misses on the FB, getting 5 of 14 on the pitch.

12/10/16 - 60 Time: 7.28, Position Velocity:  IF-77, Exit Velocity: 84
6-foot-2, 175-pound, RHH hits from a narrower and closed stance with some upright posture, uses a pretty generic stride and a substantial movement back with his hands to get loaded, lower half struggles to create much separation because of his closed alignment, swing plane is usually flat through the zone but can get steep on balls that are down, at his best when staying toward right-center.  Defensively, showed good hands and above-average footwork around the bag, fielded the ball cleanly, exchange included a glove pat and led to a long arm action through a nearly over-the-top slot.

12/10/16 - Max FB: 83, FB: 82-83, CH: 71-73, SL: 67-69
6-foot-2, 175-pound, RHP uses an uptempo motion that utilizes his whole body at one point or another, rhythmic rocker step helps gain some momentum into his leg lift, leg straightens before heading home in a closed position, lands in line and uses a quick and loose arm action through a high ¾ slot, finishes out front and under control.  Fastball seemed heavy through the zone, slider was erratic but can be sharp with 10/4 shape, changeup had some fade but missed down a lot.
