Adam
Tarver

A 6-foot-2, 220-pound right-handed pitcher and corner infielder from Baton Rouge, LA. Big bodied frame with thick, strong lower half. Right-handed hitter with raw bat speed, pull-side power that creates quality leverage in the swing with backspin. Plays third base currently, has soft hands and arm strength, will need to improve footwork to stay there, but has the frame and tools to transition nicely to first base. Right-handed pitcher with a fast arm out of a high-3/4 release, creates deception in delivery as he throws across his body slightly, and creates quality angle of descent. Fastball will sit 87-89 mph with life and control. Throws a power curveball with 10/4 shape, tight spin, quality depth at 75-77. Has shown a decent feel for a changeup at times that could become an average pitch down the road. Last year in state playoffs he was 89-91 and up to 92 with an above average breaking ball at 78-80 for five innings.
