Clawson

10/17/18 - Clawson has had a whirlwind summer/fall season. He's racked up some frequent flier miles and had the opportunity to participate in the Area Code Games as a member of the Brewers. Such is the life when you're considered one of the top prospects in a region known for producing just that, top prospects. That long season can be a grind which is why when looking at prospects it's important to not discount the body of work because of what you last saw. Clawson had an inconsistent outing last night before eventually settling down and showing his stuff. He pounds righties in with a fastball that bores into their hands on a downhill plane giving it movements in two directions - down and in. His curveball command wasn't its usual sharp, biting self. Instead it was loose and up. Again, body of work. His changeup continues to develop and while it wasn't spectacular last night, it was effective in getting hitters out front. I expect things to be back to normal for Clawson after his shutdown period and into the spring.

7/15/18 - Clawson has seen his stock soar since the spring after a solid showing at the TOS and in several tournaments leading into the Area Code Tryouts. The BYU commit came out firing today with his fastball that shows good armside run at 88-91. Clawson pounded the pitch in on lefties making for some uncomfortable at-bats. He backed that up with a slider at 78-79 that tight and shows late depth as it enters the hitting zone. There's a lot of deception in his delivery with a high leg kick that leads to a crouch with a slight shoulder turn that shield the balls from the hitters view.
