Scouting Report
01/27/18- Clemson recruit. Currently stands 6-foot-5, 185 pounds with a lean, tall frame with lots of projection. On the mound he displayed a loose, easy working arm out of the ¾ slot from the left side. Showed a feel for all three pitches and the ability to work both sides of the plate. He featured a fastball that sat between 83-85 mph, touching 86 with run while also mixing in a changeup that sat at 76-77 mph and a back-door slider at 69-72 mph. Look for Labriola to see jumps in velocity as he continues to add to his frame.
10/12/16- Committed to Clemson University.
10/09/16- Tall, lean, lanky, and projectable build on a 6-5, 175 pound frame. Loose arm that sat 80-82 mph, touching 83, 84 at times while mixing in a 65-66 mph curveball and a 73-74 mph change up. At times can fall off to the side with his delivery, but gets some extension out in front. When he lands in line, he is able to stay in the zone and show a good mix of his pitches.
