Strong, wide-shouldered righty with a long, loose arm swing for leveraged arm strength. At 6-foot, 210 pounds, Koone worked quickly with an on-line, drop-and-drive delivery which created good extension out front (6.74’), but walked through finish due to poor lead leg blocking. Fastball was up to 90 mph with fair life from a high three-quarter slot. Advanced feel for changeup. Flashed plus at 80 mph when thrown with fastball arm speed. Work-in-progress breaking ball at 68-69 mph showed fair 11/5 shape, lacked bite.
