ACADEMIC GAMES II 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. Showed very well at the event as he has developed nicely. The fastball sat 81-82 mph, minimal arm side run to the pitch. The breaking ball had a good shape to it, sitting 71-74 mph. The slider is a plus pitch, sitting 75-77 mph. The changeup is a good pitch, 73-74 mph, fade and sink at times. The delivery is online with the feet and above 3/4 in slot. The arm is long and loose, tracking of the front shoulder comes offline prior to foot strike. Tons of potential and he can spin it. Very good prospect on the mound.

6-foot, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. Showed well at the event, as the frame projects and the arm works nicely. Should be a 6-foot-3 right-hander with long arms when it is all said and done. The fastball had boar to it, touching 78 mph. The spin pitch is 64 mph as it needs more fastball hand speed to it, but the shape is trending appropriately. . The changeup is a work in progress but needs to be developed as he matures. The delivery comes at you out of a plus ¾ slot. 1.25 in the stretch as he has an idea of how to handle the running game. The delivery is online and repeated. The lift is athletic and has a small coil at the top of it. The tracking of the front shoulder to foot strike can improve and help extension. He pulls off target minimally as of now. Excellent prospect for me.
