5 foot 11, 145-pound lanky build. Frame will continue to handle strength. Lefties fastball ranged 82-83, hard out of the hand, attacking the zone. Breaking ball at 67-70 with 1/7 tilt worked with gradual action. Slightly slower hand on the breaking ball and the front side would act early. Straight change-up at 73-75, slowing the arm slightly, but around the zone. Quick arm suggests more could be coming quickly. Side step and slow rhythm to balance where he kicks to the top of the chest with a sliight crouch and pelvic tilt. Loose hips. Some uphill leverage in the shoulders. Medium arm swing to an over-the-top release. Average backside action as he lands on-line and square, occasionally falling to the 3B side. Works for extension. Quick arm stands out. Hits from the right side using a tall setup. Short stride with his hands working down and back during his load. Some quickness to his hands through the zone with a choppy rhythm. Looks to stay gap to gap with average bat speed. Exit velocity recorded at 74 mph. Uses a two-hand catch in the outfield with his feet stopping at catch. Medium arm stroke, throwing from a high ¾ slot. Arm topped at 83 mph from the outfield. Recorded a 4.05 in the 30-yard dash.
02.09.18 Young, thin frame. At 5-foot-10, 137 pounds there is a lot of maturation ahead. Average balance point, loading the front hip with the leg kick, swings the leg out as the arm action reaches. Long arm action has some effort with an over-the-top release. Lands slightly open, with the toe strike open as well. Fastball ranges 73-75, cutting at times as the front side leaked. Decent feel for a change-up sitting 63-68 with occasional fade. Breaking ball wants 12/6 shape, rolling out of the hand. Arm slows at times producing average spin at 62-64.
