Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: LHP LHS with upside. Will throw harder. Secondary shows action. Doesn't throw CB with conviction, would love to see him let it go with maintained arm speed. Change shows action, slows arm. Will gain strength, best is ahead of him.
Body: 6-2, 196-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Well proportioned build. Will have good pitchers build/strength in future.
Delivery: Stretch only. Solid job of using lower 1/2. Slight cross step. Gets chest over front leg, solid finish.
Arm Action: LH. Full circle with length, wrist wrap out of glove. TQ slot with cross body finish. Fair arm speed.
FB: T87, 85-86 mph. Effective FB with angle created, can get in on RHH's. Shows arm side tail. Avg plane, spin present, can elevate with success. T2440, 2286 average rpm.
CB: 67-69 mph. Big breaker showing solid spin. Slurvy type action, would love to see him throw this pitch harder. Like the upside to CB. Struggled to land in zone. T2359, 2242 average rpm.
CH: 73-75 mph. Fade action with fair deception. Slows arm. T2149, 2085 average rpm.
Positional Profile: LHP LHP with solid arm action, upside to velocity with strength. Like FB attributes now, will be better with increased velocity. Feel to spin ball when landed with release point, chance to develop ability to manipulate pitch. Change is developing. Will continue to improve.
Body: 6-2, 186-pounds. Good build/frame to add strength. Moves well on the mound.
Delivery: Stretch only, repeats. Solid job of using lower 1/2, gets over front side well.
Arm Action: LH. Arm works well with full circle, EZ. More arm speed to come.
FB: T84, 82-83 mph. More velo to come, stride thrower, uses both sides of plate. Good plane down in zone. T2301, 2092 average rpm.
CB: 64-69 mph. Soft velo, flashes quality action/spin. Gets on side at times, must firm release point. T2438, 2272 average rpm.
CH: 72-73 mph. Tail/sink with okay deception. T2222, 2148 average rpm.
