6-foot-1, 205-pound, strong, solid athletic frame, durable pitchers frame. A left-handed pitcher, delivery is more hybrid, lower hands in the gather. Stays over the backside, builds momentum down the mound, gets the body moving quickly. The arm action is smooth, powerful, working from a 3/4 slot. Fastball was clocked at 78 mph, its heavy a ball. Showed a very good change, clocked at 68 mph, working well off the fastball. Mixed in a curveball in the mid 60's. Love the aggressiveness, will need to continue to smooth out delivery has all the makings top level arm, look for a huge jump.

6-foot-1, 185-pound, strong solid athletic frame, strong lower half, put together well, already filling out. A left-handed pitcher, simple balanced delivery, repeats it, hands start lower, stronger post leg. loaded on back side. The arm action is longer on the backside, slight hook on the bottom of the path, works through from a 3/4 slot. The glove side is strong, tracks to plate, with extension on the finish. The fastball was clocked at 79 mph, worked it down in the zone. Mixed in a curveball clocked at 63 mph, will need to add more fastball hand speed. The shape and spin show it has the makings of an above average pitch as he continues to work on his craft. Big body, with more int he arm, good follow.
