6-foot-7, 235-pound, very large athletic frame. A right-handed pitcher, working from the set position, easy athletic lift, minimal pull with frontside, inline to plate. The direction of foot strike is on time and inline. The arm works from a lower 3/4 slot, as always looks extremely hard to hit. The fastball touched 87 mph, with down action to it. The breaking ball is more of a sweeper slider, clocked at 74-75 mph, and showed the ability to turn the changeup over at 77-79 mph. Look for him to be tough out of the bullpen at next level, creating a ton of ground balls.

6-foot-6, 200-pound right-handed pitcher. My favorite young man of the day. The frame is outstanding and this guys best days are ahead of him. The fastball touched 82 mph with arm side run and sink to it. The spin pitch was 70-71 with slurvy action to it. The changeup has the right velocity to it, needs a spin fix. The changeup was 72-73 mph. Pitches out of a ¾ slot and the arm works extremely well. The direction of his feet are appropriate and his tracking is very good at a young age. The lift is athletic and repeated. The glove side is pulled across the hitters face, adding to deception and ability of the hitter to pick up the ball. 1.34 to the plate out of the stretch. Big time prospect in the 2020 class.
Future Games 6-foot-6, 215-pound, frame is big, long and wide. A right-handed pitcher, arm action is long and clean on the back side, works out of a natural ¾ slot. The fastball reached 83 mph, continues to gain velocity, showed to have good sink to the arm side, 2-seamer has late action to it. The breaking ball reached 73 mph, slurvy type break, pounded it for strikes, pitched backwards with it at times. The change up showed to have more feel to it, clocked at 72-73 mph. Times to the plate were at 1.53. The delivery is simple and repeats it for the most part, lead arm could be a tick stronger and stay on target a tick longer. Look for the velocity to continue to climb, there's more in there on the finish and extension of the release/pitch. The spin pitch is above average. Big follow.
PROCASE 6-foot-6, 215-pound right-handed pitcher. Huge right-hander with projection. The fastball sat at 81 mph out of a ¾ slot. The arm swing is long on the backside. The breaking ball sat at 73 mph and was slurvish. The changeup is still a work in progress and coming along well, sitting at 75 mph. The delivery is online with his feet. The tracking of the front shoulder needs to improve as he is stretched out at foot strike. The glove is pulled across the hitters face and comes off the catcher at release. Big follow
