7/25/17 - 6-foot-3, 190-pound left-handed pitcher. The fastball touched 78 mph with a downhill plane to it. Commanding the fastball needs to improve as he matures. The spin pitch is wide, needs more fastball hand speed to it, sat at 64-65 mph. The shape of the pitch is correct, just needs a bit more fastball to it. The changeup is a work in progress. The delivery comes at you out of a plus ¾ slot. Athletic lift and coil, corrals glove but front shoulder needs to be tracked longer to stay with his arm more often. The arm swing is clean and the ball is true. Few tweaks and he should be on time with his feet and ball hand.
