Scouting Report
4/24/18:Very impressive outing on the night for the freshman. CG shutout 11 Ks, 5 hits, 3 walks. Pitches from higher 3/4 arm slot. Has good tempo to the plate, clean mechanics, quick arm stroke and repeats well for a '21. Shows good mound presence, worked out of a couple of jams including a bases loaded 1 out situation in the 5th. Opened up the game sitting 83-85 with his FB and held velo well over 4 innings and then worked more in the 80-82 range over the last 3 innings of his outing. Commanded the FB well mainly working on the outer half of the plate, but did show command to the inner half. FB showed cut action at times. Flashed two different shape breaking balls that were both advanced for age. Showed that he could spin them for strikes but also for swing and misses out of the zone. Spun a CB that was 11/5 shape and showed late hard action at 68-70. Also spun a slider that was 73-76 and a CH that showed fade at times but was mainly up in the zone at 75-77. Overall extremely impressive '21 right hander with advanced pitchability and off speed. Cincinnati commit.
