Positional Profile: LHP/1B - Florida, Very projectable frame and a feel to pitch. Has some potential offensively, but the mound is really where you see the upside. Likely didn't see his best stuff, but the arm action is very clean and easy with a very projectable frame. He also showed his ability to compete and a feel for three potentially above average pitches. The upside is extremely high and is why he is one of the top arms in the state for his class.
Body: 6-foot-1, 163-pounds. Lanky, long, lean strength.
Hit: LHH. Shoulder width to wide separation with hands and front leg. Some length as the separation can be a little long, creates leverage and has present lean strength.
Power: 94 mph exit velocity.
Run: 7.19 runner in the 60.
Delivery: Upright, has some lean back in delivery and lands slightly open. Could use the lower half more, but really lets his elite arm do the majority of the work. A very high ceiling with a lot more to come .
Arm Action: LH. Arm gets behind him early, but elite arm talent and working free and clean gets him caught up and out front. The arm is loose and quick with a lot to like in how it works and the overall elite upside.
FB: T87, 82-86 mph. When he gets down the mound and to extension the ball really jumps out of the hand. It always comes out well, but showed much more to come.
CB: 65-69 mph. Depth with above average potential.
CH: 77-80 mph.
Uncommitted, 6-foot 155 pound 2022 has an impressive bat for his age. With a somewhat slim build, he is able to produce some power with above average bat speed. He barrels ball up on a consistent basis and makes the other pitcher work when he’s in the box.
