2018 PBR Future Games- Showed command of a FB that that sat consistent at 88 and occasionally touched 89. Working exclusively from the stretch he has some funk to his delivery that has an effect on hitters timing.

 

 

7/11/18- 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-handed throwing pitcher.  Good body with room to grow. Throws from open set position.  Long arms and athletic frame.  Lands and throws across body.  Fastball is thrown downhill at 84-86 mph with cut action.  Lands 11/5 shape curveball for strikes thrown at 66-67 mph.  Late run on 75-76 mph change-up with good arm speed.

 

 

3/17/18- 6-foot, 175-pound right-handed hitting pitcher. Sideways rocker step into uptempo balance point. Athletic delivery with loose actions. Slight wrap on backside but arm is fast and clean out front. Lands across body creating deception with violent head whack on release. Fastball was 85-86 mph with flashes of late arm-side run and sink. Shows arm speed on breaking ball, inconsistent, but flashes tighter spin and 11/5 shape. Cut action on changeup that should continue to develop into an above avg. pitch.
