Scouting Report

6/18/19

 

6'3" 188 lbs.  Big frame - room to add considerable strength.  Relatively easy delivery with a clean, fast arm that produced a bunch of downhill strikes with the FB that sat 84-86 with some riding life through the zone.  Also flashed a solid 68-71 CB that shows the mamings of being a nice complement to the up and down plan the fastball allows for.  The separator is a CH at 72-73 that features excellent arm speed and has real depth - tumbling action.  The CH projects as a future plus pitch.  He has a tendecncy to get forward which forces him off balance at his finish too often, and has an inconsistent lead arm path, but that's about all that's not to like here.  The body, arm speed, direction, and present quality of pitches makes this one a high follow and likely a premium prospect in a couple of years.

6’3 188-pounds, with projectability for strong frame throughout. Mechanically sound delivery and arm action. Stays over the rubber well, allowing for arm to stay on time and use lower have efficiently. Strides in line with good use of working into front leg, forcing himself up and over to finish. Showed feel for three pitches. Fastball jumps out of hand at 83-84 MPH and is aggressively in the zone. Breaking ball at 70-72 MPH, with ability for strikes and for chase. Could benefit from adding slider to maintain aggressiveness in the pitch, rather than working to get on top of the baseball. Change shows fade with good arm speed at 68 MPH. Orr could find himself touching 90 before he knows it.
