O'Connell

4/13/16 - O'Connell competed well with an 86-89 mph FB and tight 3/4 Curve ball at 72-75 mph.  Late hand separation affects where the curve ball comes from (deception), but still very good rotation. 

3/4/16- Florida Atlantic commit who stands at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds with a loose and athletic frame with strength. Loose, whippy ¾ arm action with an easy and repeatable delivery. Good confidence and tempo on the mound. Pounds the zone at 86-89 mph and possesses an above average to plus curveball that runs away from lefties and is backdoor to righties at 72-73 mph. The curveball breaks two planes but mostly breaks across. Could be a 2016 draft.

7/27/15 - Stocky strong lower half with a loose whippy arm at a 3/4 slot. Fast ball is 86-89 mph with tail action. Tries to get over the top of the fast ball to throw it at a high 3/4 slot. Good rhythm in delivery, but occasionally slows down to throw the change up at 64-65 mph. Throws a slurvey breaking ball from 72 to 78 mph and drops arm slot a bit to throw them at more of a 3/4 slot. Could become a 2016 draft. 

4/15/15 - 6-foot-3,180 pound – pitched well the other night against Austin Smith. Good body and delivery, mid-80s velocity, and feel for spinning the breaking ball. . Will have some pro interest from scouts next year.

12/7/14 SF Elite tryout - Loose lean projectable body. Loose arm with some effort. Head pulls off line. 3/4 slot. FB 84-88 with tail. CV has a slurvey break at 74-76 mph. Also swung the bat well. Loose bat with some quickness and a good plane. Shows some power now with more to come. Good hand eye.
