6-foot-1, 180-pound projectable frame. On the mound he has good tempo to his delivery with good direction on his landing. Throws from a loose, high-3/4 slot with his fastball sitting 80-84 mph with some sink to it. Spins a breaking ball with 11/5 tilt at 64-69 mph. Didn't show a changeup and had a strong outing punching out 4 in two innings of work.
6/8/15 6-foot-1, 180-pound thin, projectable body frame, with room to fill out with. On the mound his delivery requires regular effort. He lands even and slightly more open with his foot, in a straight line at foot strike. Hands move up in sync with leg kick. He finishes, carrying his momentum towards home plate. He throws with quicker arm speed coming from a ¾ slot. He works with two fastballs both show good movement and sinking action between 78-83 mph. He threw his curveball at 64-65 mph with gradual break at an 11/5 plane. He threw a slider with tighter break at 69 mph. He retired all five batters he faced during game play in his inning of work, getting weak contact from hitters, while striking out two of them.
2/22/15 6-foot-1, 175-pound prospect with wiry frame. Projects best as a pitcher at this stage. Throws through ¾ arm slot and everything moves. Regular effort to his delivery. Obvious quickness to his arm. Four-seam fastball sat at 80-83 mph with occasional run. His two-seam fastball shows big time run at 81-82 mph. Demonstrated command of both pitches. Mixes in a slider from a ¾ slot. Good, late break to the pitch at 67-68 mph. When he learns to throw the pitch with fastball arm speed, he will be really difficult to hit. Changeup shows fade to the arm-side at 72-74 mph. Offensively, he starts from a slight crouch. Tendency to rise causing extra head movement in his swing. Uses a small stride with slight upper-cut. Ran a 4.8 60. Defensively, he showed good arm strength with a top velocity of 81 mph across the infield. Average hands and feet at this stage.
