The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)

Positional Profile: RHP/1B Body: 6-4, 245-pounds. Developed, XL frame w/ physical strength throughout. Delivery: Hybrid start from the 1B side of the rubber. Controlled tempo. Arm Action: RH. Higher 3/4 arm slot. FB: T91, 88-90 mph. Effortless and late life, plays to all parts of the zone. T2335, 2284 average rpm. SL: 74-76 mph. Tight shape, late and downward bite. T2672, 2566 average rpm. CH: 80-82 mph. Solid feel for the pitch, late arm side action. T2107, 1883 average rpm.
7/27/22
Uncommitted, 6-foot-4, 245-lb large, developed frame w/ present strength and physicality. Quiet feet in delivery w/ strong balance point and tall n fall lower half. Glides down the mound w/ square to slightly closed foot landing and blocks with the lead leg. Long, loose arm action, getting it up on foot landing and works up to H 3/4 slot. FB has been 85-89 T 90 w/ high spin (T 2416 rpm) and great carry thru the zone (19.8 IVB). Natural cut, but shown ability to sink it at times. Struggled with zone at times, but lively stuff that makes for uncomfortable at bats. Sharp biting SL at 74-76 (T 2564 rpm) w/ 10/4 action. Manipulates shape getting more depth or sweep when needed w/ put away potential to extend zone or bury for chase. Showed CH in upper 70s-low 80s w/ slight fade and down in the zone. Consistency in the zone is needed, but physical frame w/ high upside stuff as he transferred to Arlington this summer.

Uncommitted, 6-foot-4, 245-lb large, developed frame w/ present strength and physicality. Quiet feet in delivery w/ strong balance point and tall n fall lower half. Glides down the mound w/ square to slightly closed foot landing and blocks with the lead leg. Long, loose arm action, getting it up on foot landing and works up to H 3/4 slot. FB at 85-87 w/ high spin (T 2436 rpm) and great carry thru the zone (19.8 IVB). Pounded the zone, locating and ability to beat barrels up. Manipulates shape of the breaking ball but profiles best as SL at 71-76. Sharp bite and 10/4 action w/ elevated spin rates (T 2478 rpm). Located for strikes and looks to be a true put away pitch, to extend the zone or bury for chase. CH at 74-77 is solid third offering, w/ slight fade and keeps it down in the zone.
