The highest Edge Score within the given year. Edge Score is a comprehensive score that takes the core-six visual skills into account, providing an assessment of an athlete’s overall visual ability.
The maximum speed, in the direction of home plate, that the wrist is traveling. Measured in meters per second (m/s)
Arm Slot
Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo
The angular velocity of the front knee straightening after foot plant, which provides indicators of velocity potential. Measured in degrees per second.
Deception
The amount of time that the ball is visible to the hitter, after the instant of front foot strike. Measures in milliseconds.
Hip-Shoulder Separation
The difference in angle of between the hips and shoulders, occurring close to the foot plant. Measured in degrees.
Event: California State Games Body: 6-5, 195-pounds. Long and lean, rangy frame with some present size but ample room for future size and strength as he fills out and physically matures. Delivery: Small rocker in front of rubber, simple up down rhythm between lift (mid-chest) and hands, starts chest high before going down to waist and back up with knee lift, clean mechanics, in-line stride, big back hip action through finish that see him get out over front leg with some pull to 1B line through release. Arm Action: Smooth out of glove with compact backside that gets just below the waist, high 3/4 slot, loose easy arm, has control of the arm action. FB: T88.5, 86-88 mph velo range. 2310 max spin, 2171 avg spin, 18.9 IVB avg, 6.5 HM avg, pounds the zone with aggressive fastball usage, plenty of velocity to rank with top 2024s in the state and with the extension and hints of impact spin he projects to develop the type of ‘come at you’ fastball he can trust in the zone and set up his secondary options. 5.9 avg FB release height w/6.1 avg extension, creates steep tilt with the FB. CB: 74-78 mph. Firm CB, max 2408 spin (2307 avg spin), 5.8 avg release height, feel for zone with more downer action than lateral. CH: 80-84 mph. Slightly lower release height (5.6 avg) off the FB which is something he can improve just a bit so as to not give it away, big spin reduction off the FB (CHG 1401 avg spin) which creates late depth in the zone and a heavier action, lots of arm side action, appears to be some backing off of the arm speed when throwing this pitch.

Positional Profile: RHP/OF Body: 6-4, 190-pounds. Long, projectable 6'4" 190lb build that should fill out as he continues to develop. Delivery: Sets up on 1B side of the rubber. Easy, under control delivery with minimal unnecessary movement. A quiet back foot allows him to stay connected and draw energy from the ground. Sits into the back hip well and gets in and around the front hip. Does a nice job of rotating from the middle of the body. Arm Action: Free and easy arm swing that has no visible interruptions in the flow of energy. Gets up on time consistently. Higher slot aids in fastball deception. FB: T81, 80-81 mph. Average 80 (have seen up to 87) with above-average Induced Vertical Break (20.7"). Also had 10.5" horizontal movement on the pitch despite below-average raw spin numbers. Also averaged 6.2 feet of extension. SL: 71-72 mph. Small tight slider that gets positive induced vertical break with some horizontal sweep (3.8" average). Pitch tunnels well with the FB from a metric standpoint and should be a useful pitch if sequenced/located properly. CH: 72-74 mph. Plus pitch, on average kills 12" of induced vertical break at a 9 mph velocity difference from the FB. This creates a large problem for hitters and if located, should have considerable success in game.

Body: 6-4, 185-pounds. Very long, lean strength with shoulders carrying strength now and projecting to be very well built at full maturity Delivery: Stretch only. Glove stays at waist with simple drift/drive delivery. Easily repeatable and athletic with strong frontside ability; gets front leg to stop body on shorter stride. Delivery/Body Projections to be one of better 2024 Arms. Arm Action: RH. Compact, H-3/4 release. Stays in the pocket really well and fluid actions staying attached to the body till late. Ball is hidden well with the ability to come out to release point quickly. FB: T84.4, 81-83 mph. Heavier pitch plays well with ability to attack armside and glove side. (14.3 HM, 19.5 IVB Max) SL: 67-69 mph. Short and fluid break; consistent actions and tight spin (-18.6 Max HB). Projects for big jumps at full maturity.
