Body: 5-11, 195-pounds. Physical frame at 5’11” 195-pounds with strength throughout the body that really shows itself on the mound where he gains ground down the mound with the extension (avg.7’3”) of a much taller player. Sturdy lower half and track record show off his starters ability. Delivery: Repeatable delivery that shows why his plus control and three-pitch command have had so much success. The lower half ability really takes ease off the arm and enables him to stay consistent. Arm Action: RH. Short and compact through the back he maintains the same arm slot on all pitches with his breaking balls (CB/BB) both tunnelling off the fastball plane until their late sinking action comes into play. Had four strikeouts to go with a few weak groundouts that supported what the eyes saw. FB: T86, 84-86 mph. Horizontal movement of 12.9 shows off his extreme run on the pitch aided by his 2074 spin rate. This heavy of run of a 4-seam heavy usage makes one wonder what throwing the two-seam more would do. The heavy run showed with ground ball outs. CB: 71-72 mph. Quality feel for the pitch, was able to repeat release, average speed and spin. Ability to locate and create swing and miss help create outs. CH: 74-75 mph. The lowest spin rate of any changeup thrown at the event. Had the staff buzzing with such advanced speed/spin differential from fastball. Rare to see at the high school level.
