Notes

Comments

2/12/24
'25 RHP James Tabor (Northridge HS) was another arm that showed offseason improvements, working his fastball at 82-85 mph throughout his bullpen session. The 6-foot, 170 pound right-hander was able to get the fastball in the zone at an 87% clip - affirming 2023 looks where he lived in the strike zone. Spinning a tight, 75-77 mph slider with solid arm speed makes it easy to suggest more velocity is in the tank, and Tabor also showed an above average change at 77-79 mph to round out a three-pitch mix. The delivery is athletic with consistent tempo and his arm shows easy acceleration to a high 3/4 release point.
