Scouting Report
2/3/19 - Max FB: 85, FB (83-84), CB (70), CH (77-80)
6-3, 185-pound righty continues to get better every time we see him and tease at his overall potential, throwing every FB in the 83-85 range. Prototypical pitcher size, tall, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential. Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber. Super quick arm, has a very high velocity ceiling as the frame continues to develop. Lower half can drive a little more, glove side can get stronger, will unlock a couple ticks and improve his direction quickly with those 2 adjustments. Straight FB. Medium downer CB flashes proper shape and rotation. Slows body slightly on CH, slightly drops arm-slot w/ fade and sink. Around the zone w/ his 3-pitch mix, feel for throwing secondary pitches for strikes.
2/3/19 - 60: 7.34, Exit Velo: 86
6-3, 185-pound corner infielder shows super intriguing size, bat-speed and arm strength. Prototypical corner IF size, tall, athletic frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable, has just scratched the surface of his frame potential. Offensively, hits w/ an open, upright stance w/ short hand rhythm into leg kick and short hand load. Learning to get lower half involved consistently, occasionally over-strides. When on time, shows above average bat-speed w/ some extension and back-spin, keeping barrel in the zone for a long time. All fields approach w/ lot of line drives when right. Projectable up the middle to pull power. Has a chance to be a monster offensively depending on how the frame develops. As an infielder, shows solid hands w/ easy arm strength w/ solid footwork. Tools to be an impact defender, legitimate 2-way prospect, as he touched 85 on the mound.
