Notes

Comments

6/26/24
6-foot, 190-pound left-handed hitting first baseman and left-handed pitcher. He did not run the sixty at the event. The approach in the infield is appropriate and solid, throwing 77 mph across the diamond with accuracy and feel. The bat has an exit velocity of 92 mph. The setup is even in base and the front foot gains ground as the swing is produced. The hand path is clean and slightly uphill. The bottom half stays under control. On the mound, the fastball sat 77-78 mph with arm side run to it. The spin pitch is big in shape, sitting 61-62 mph as it needs more hand speed. The changeup is a developing pitch for him. The delivery is under control and repeated. The slot is 3/4 and loose.
