6-foot-3 15 year old that looks bigger than his listed 180pounds. With a tall and easy delivery he has easy arm action and a confidence that looks like he has a good feel for what he’s doing. He attacks hitters and doesn’t nibble as he completed 2 innings in less that 20 pitches.. His fastball was up to 82 with a 68-70 mph breaking ball that had good downward bite to it.
10/20/18 - Currently stands at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds with an athletic frame and room to fill out. Also stood out offensively where he drove a ball back up the middle and to left field for back to back line drive singles during the game. Trusts his hands through the zone and shows a quick bat from the right side, looking to hunt the fastball.
