Scouting Report
6/14/17 6-foot-2, 185-pounder who pitches out of a high three-quarter slot and stays on-line to the plate. Elastic arm action with some hook in back. Turns front shoulder in during delivery, while front hip stays open, limiting ability to get loaded over rubber. Closing off his lower half in his balance point could lead to plenty more to come from a fastball that sat 82-84. Mid-70s curveball had tight, late tilt, while he also mixed in a firm change-up at 77-78. Intriguing upside here.
