Comments
11/8/2014: Amos has an athletic 5-foot-10 frame and is also a very good infielder. He throws over the top and has a quick arm that generates easy velocity. He has a smooth rhythm and very clean, simple mechanics. Amos’ fastball sat 84-86 on the day and touched 87. He showed the ability to cut it and sink it late. Amos threw and outstanding overhand curveball with sharp downward break and full armspeed (73-76). He also showed a good change-up that sat 78 with late sinking action. Overall, Amos’ command of all three pitches was outstanding from the wind-up. At the plate, hits from a balanced athletic stance with high hands. Has a smooth load back and a leg kick. Explosive lower half, with quick hands, short swing, and gets extensions. Leverage in swing, creates backspin, drives ball. Has an exit velocity of 90 mph off of the tee. In the field, has good feet, soft hands, and a slightly above average arm with 83 mph position and velocity. Smooth actions, plays through the baseball and has clean exchanges.
