10/10/18 - Listed 6-foot 3, 167 pound frame. Body shows room to add strength and mass. Issacs works fast and in a direct line to the plate with a clean arm circle and high front side. Arm action slightly shorter than our last look, getting on top of the baseball on the back side more easily and consistently. Fastball sat 81-83 mph with improved lower half mechanics that have made his delivery more efficient. Curveball was consistently thrown for a strike at 70-71 mph and has potential to turn into more of an out pitch as the rotation is tightened. Changeup flashed tumbling action at 76 mph. Secondary offerings will only improve with more arm speed. Ceiling is quite high for this projectable-bodied left-handed strike thrower.
6/27/18 - 6-foot-2, 155-pound frame. Very thin, projectable body. Controlled tempo, tall and fall style of mechanics. Could engage lower half more. Ran his fastball up to 84 mph from a ¾ arm slot. Curveball was thrown with fastball arm speed at 70-73 mph with 1-5 shape. Change up was firm at 75 mph and flashed sinking action. Isaacs' arm works well and will be an intriguing follow as his body continues to mature and add strength/mass. Very interesting developmental prospect.
