11.11.18 Tall LHP that is ultra projectable and showed phenomenal command on all of his pitches. His misses were very minimal, showing the ability to spot up where he wanted to. Clean mechanics and he uses his 6’3 frame to really create down plane on his FB. His FB was 79-81 with nice ASR, topping at 82 and the ability to live on the black on both sides. His breaking ball is a hammer with big time late break and his changeup was thrown with the same arm speed and and created deception and tumble away from RH hitters. Has the ability to add more weight and will continue to progress. Don’t expect him to be uncommitted very long.
Lawson Russell (2020 LHP/1B, Decatur HS) 6’3 170 lbs- showed command for all 3 of his pitches. Fastball was 79-81 and topped at 82 mph, which was an event best. Typical LH run to the FB. Short arm action in his mechanics. Curveball had true 12-6 depth at 63-65. Changeup was a plus pitch with good tumble at 73-74. More velocity in the tank.
