01.21.18 Broad shoulders and thin build at 6-foot-1, 160 pounds. Some projection left on the mound as he works with a long arm action and over-the-top slot. Lower half coiled at balance while the front side uses a glove point and reach to set his line. Shoulders are slightly uphill, creating some leverage. Lands slightly open on his line. Fastball featured strikes, lacking command, at 68-69. The change-up has deception in the hand speed, working with sink at 63-64. Breaking ball is still developing and early with a January bullpen – sitting 60-62 with short action and erratic feel. Right handed hitter is tall, rocking back with a short stride to load his weight. Hands have some softness with the bat at a semi-vertical position. Strength will improve barrel awareness. Some uphill leverage in the swing. Exit velocity of 76 off the barrel. Works to funnel the baseball to his mid-section on the infield. Left foot typically set well behind right foot, allowing a long load and arm action through the transition. Showed some accuracy on throws measuring 71 across the field. Turned in a 3.14 twenty yard dash and a 4.94 5-10-5 shuttle. Standing broad jump of 6’7”.
