MD Underclass Prospect Games 6/21/17
Solid durable frame with room to add strength at 6-3, 195-pounds. hits from a wide set up with hands at chest level. Short rock back load with knee in loadslgihtly closed off. Level path at the plate with some extension through contact. Showed nice rhythm throughout swing. Did not play a position. ---- On the mound, has a compact delivery building up momentum. Sound arm action throwing from an almost over the top slot. Creates fast arm speed through release. slight finish to the first base side. Like to see better hand discipline through release to create better downward tilt on baseball; gets behind ball at times creating one plane movement. Gets some lower half involvement, like to see better hip load in stretch to not force arm to work so much there. Lively arm and more in tank as he gets stronger. Fastball has run to the pitch up to 86 mph. Breaking ball has gradual break and 11/5 shape at 69 mph. Change up shows fade at 74 mph.

Colton Knoble was 83-85 on the mound, topping out at 86. His breaking ball had 11/5 action on the pitch with gradual break at 67-69 mph. Was slower in the stretch 79-82, which should get better as he gets more hip load in his lift to keep more balance through out and create better drive from back side
