Off the mound, working from the windup, starting with a bigger rocker step with coil to it. The stride in inline, with forward lean, needs to strengthen frontside, leaks off. A longer clean arm action, working from a high 3/4 slot. Located the fastball down in the zone, showing minimal arm side run, clocked at 72 mph, with a more in the tank. The breaking ball is bigger, rolls in, needs to add more fastball hand speed. At the plate, taller, shorter stance, slightly open, with higher hands. The lower half gains ground, is behind the baseball on foot strike. The swing is down to level to up, backspin to the baseball to all fields. Exit velocity of 82 mph, and ran a 5.0 from home to 1st. Defensively, moved off the bag at 1st smoothly, soft glove, to a clean transfer. The arm action is short and clean, more of a flick to the throw. Like how the arm works off the mound, will need to add overall strength.
