A name that we have known about but Saturday was our first chance to see him and he did not disappoint. Has been known as a quality backstop behind the plate but his ability on the mound was quite impressive. The 6’3 RHP showed an over the top arm action and every pitch looked identical out of the hand. The fastball played at 83-84 mph which created a nice downward tilt on the pitch. The breaking ball showed more slider type action at 71-72 mph and was a true late breaker. He consistently located well to glove slide and seemed to always be down in the zone. Briefly showed a nice deceptive changeup at 73-74 mph that can be a definite “swing over the top” pitch against RH hitters.
