Scouting Report
6/28/19
Definite two-way prospect will be discussed at length in a coming article as a hitter. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound righty sat 80-83 out of an over-the-top arm slot. Creates some angle with the arm slot and some cut on the fastball led to soft contact. Curveball at 69-71 morphs between a true curveball and a cutter/slider with the arm slot and depending if he stays on top of the pitch or gets around it.
2/09/19
6-foot-1, 195-pound left-handed hitter starts from a slightly-closed stance and initiates his swing using a toe-tap stride. Showcased an athletic lower half while finding repetitive barrels during batting practice notching a bat exit velocity of 89 mph. Recorded a 7.59 60-yard dash. Demonstrated athletic actions in the outfield while using a long arm-action to register throws of 79 mph from his position. Right-handed pitcher delivers from a high 3/4 arm-slot and gets downhill on batters. Fastballs were commanded at 82-84 mph, while he touched 86 mph with heavy, downhill action. 67-70 mph curveballs were thrown down in the zone with 11/5 tilt. Sliders appeared to have adequate sell at 69-71 mph.
