Missouri commit. 6-foot-3, 175-pound left-handed hitting two-way prospect, lean, athletic frame, some quick twitch. Arm works short on the back-side, accelerates quickly to a ¾ slot, loose action, hides the ball well on the back-side creating deception. Controlled the zone with a sinking fastball at 84-87. Curveball, 1/7 shape, 73-77.

The 6-foot-3, 175-pound uncommitted left hander posted a strong start to open the summer.  Lean, lanky frame w/ high waist and good projection.  Loose arm working to 3/4 slot.  FB worked 79-83 all night, but played up a tick in perceived velocity due to a 6 ft, 9 in. extension metric courtesy of Trackman (MLB Avg: 6 ft, 5 in.).  Limited use of CB, but mixed changeup at 75-76 w/ good arm speed and some sink away from righties.  

Lanky left-handed arm standing 6-foot-3, 165 pounds; very projectable build. Very good athlete, especially for build; moves well. Short draw on backswing, high frontside, controlled balance point. Works down the mound with ease. Stays balanced upon release. Very good control of FB at 81-83 mph. Curveball showed feel with 1/7 action; 68 mph. Interesting arm that will continue to physically develop.
