Bay Area World Series 2020 (BAWS) - Uncommitted; Classically crafty LHP, has feel for the zone w/all three pitches (FB/CB/CHG). Slight cross-body delivery gives some deception, shows ability to shove the FB in to RHH (T82) and also run it away. Can drop in the CB and fade the CHG down.

PBR Central Valley Preseason I.D. - Body a bit stronger since last viewing, still lean and lithe, streamlined proportions. Continues to show the full repertoire from previous viewing, overhand slot, clean arm action, controlled and repeatable delivery, looks to have master of his mechanics at early age which allows for the well above average feel he shows, quick break of hands out of glove can speed up tempo of hitter, good extension, body control very good, has that laser focused look and feel, fastball to both sides is effective (75-76 mph), velocity will come right along as he physically matures, best pitch is 1/7 curveball that can on occasion have more lateral action, tight spin, good depth, well above average feel, change-up has cutting action. All in all, he's a 2022 left-hander to be very well aware of in Northern California.

NCTB Fall tournament - Lean/lithe body type, surprising how much he gets out of a 5-foot-10 125-pound body, athletic pitcher with sneaky fastball, pitches with feel and moxie beyond his years, displayed feel to both sides of plate and good run on arm side, down the road he has a chance to have plus fastball command, big steep curveball with bite, late action and a quick change of direction, creates good angles with his slight cross body stride, change-up 70 mph was a little firm but does throw with good arm action, highly competitive, held velocity for 5+ innings and went toe to toe vs a better hitting team than his, fun to watch him and dream on his projectability. Offensively saw a couple of at-bats and there is some whippy barrel life, runs bases well and moves around like an athletic player.
