8/2/15
6-foot, 180-pound athletic build. From the infield he uses good footwork to approach the baseball. Throws from a side-arm slot with 82 mph arm strength across the diamond. From behind the plate he uses good athleticism to transition into a high-¾ arm slot with 80 mph arm strength. Pop times range from 1.94-2.00. At the plate the switch hitter showed a good ability to move the ball to all fields. Swings with an even swing plane through the zone on both sides of the plate. Uses a slight leg kick from both sides of the plate. Registered a top exit velocity of 86 mph from the right side and 87 mph from the left side. Ran a 4.62 from home to first. On the mound the right-handed pitcher uses smooth rhythm in his delivery that requires regular effort. Uses good direction to the plate landing on line at foot strike. Throws with a long arm action into a high-¾ arm slot with average arm speed. Three pitch mix with the fastball sitting 81-83 mph. Curveball has late sharp break on a 11/5 plane at 67-71 mph. Changeup sits 72 mph down in the zone with fastball arm speed.

5-foot-11, 175-pound frame. Infielder, plays through the ball nicely, showed average actions and footwork to work with at short stop, maybe better suited as third-baseman if he wants to stay in the infield. Used clean arm action from ¾ slot with descent arm strength at 81 mph. Showed well as a catcher, used solid footwork with some arm strength, and good release with a pop time of 2.03. Switch hitter, from the right side he begins in balanced set up, good hands back to shoulder trigger, gets foot down early and on time, with 75 mph exit velocity. Similar mechanics from the left side, had 79 mph exit velocity, uses all parts of the field well. Ran a 4.52 to first base on his BP swing. From the mound in his windup he turns back completely around facing the hitter, has a stab in the back of arm circle, uses quicker arm speed from a ¾ slot. His fastball was 79-82 mph. Curveball has slurvy action at 63-66 mph thrown below fastball armspeed.
