Lake Land Scout Day: Six-foot-8 right-hander with a compact arm path to a H3/4 release point (nearly 7'). Got off-line at times with delivery, but repeated it well overall, especially for his height. Worked fastball in the 85-86 mph range, while showing a good feel to subtract with a 73-77 low-spin changeup with plus arm side life. Fair feel for 73-74 mph curve as his third pitch.
