Lockhart

VA/DC Scout Blog

Lockhart has a tall lanky frame that has a ton of projection left to it. He throws from a three-quarters arm slot with a short, loose, very quick arm action and normal effort to his delivery. Shoulders are closed and slightly uphill, lands closed, crossfire delivery, some fall off to his finish. Fastball was primarily 86-90 on the day, touching 92 once. Pitch had some downward plane and a touch of late run to it when down in the zone, flattens when up. Held his velocity in the stretch, was still working 86-89 in the fourth and touched a 90 in the fifth with a few fastballs dropping down to 83. Velocity was back up again in the sixth into the 86-88 range, touching 90. Showed ability to throw pitch to both sides of the plate, still more of a strike thrower than a pitcher who truly commands his fastball in the zone at this point. Curveball had 11/5 break and was 65-70, big downer break to it, more power downer at the 69-70 range, slowed his arm at times and it got slurvy. Didn't show a change-up, threw well over 80% fastball in the game, only really threw curveballs to try to cut heads off batters. Had 4 strikeouts in 6 innings and gave up 2 home runs. A ton of projection and upside still ahead for Lockhart, still a very raw prospect.

Lockhart has a tall lanky frame with a lot of projection left. Threw one inning of relief in what was his second day of work in a row. Fastball sat 84-87, touched 90 one time. Easy effort. Good curveball was 68-71. 11/5 shape with sharpness to it.

Lockhart is a 6-foot-5 RHP out of Woodgrove HS.  Projectable frame with some athleticism that shows nice repeatability on the mound. Has been 85-88 this summer with more velocity in the future and shows feel for secondary.
