Kentucky commit. 6-foot-4, 200-pound right-handed pitcher, projectable as he continues to fill out his strong extra large frame. Arm works long, showing on the back-side, advanced arm speed allows for him to get out front quickly to a ¾ slot, working crossbody and down in the zone. Drives off the mound with his back-side landing closed, finishes square to home. Fastball was dominant, blowing it by almost every hitter he faced, sat 88-90 in the first inning, settled in at 86-89, running action. Slider, tight spin, two-plane break, 75-78. The highest upside out of any prospect at the PBR Cup. Will garner much attention in the upcoming 2020 MLB draft.
9/17/17 - Max FB: 84, FB (79-84), CB (67-71), CH (72-76) 6-4, 175-pound righty projects to have 3 above avg or better pitches. Up-tempo delivery w/ 3/4 release point repeats. Quick arm that works, flashes extension. FB shows arm side run w/ occasional sink. CB flashes above avg w/ tight rotation, above avg depth. CH w/ armspeed, occasional fade. Both breaking pitches flash above avg, will get consistent w/ more reps. Controls the FB, flashes ability to pitch w/ intent. Generated 30 % swing and miss rate. High upside right handed arm.
