Arm Action: R.Medium arm swing, occasional with a slight hook of the wrist. Works to a high-3/4 slot with solid arm speed. FB:T83, 81-83 mph. 2341 - 2461 rpm. Heavy. Around the zone. Lacks pure command but it could come with reps. CB:62-69 mph. 2527 - 2584 rpm. Tight with depth at times. 11/5 depth. Flooded the zone with the breaker. CH:70-71 mph. 1834 rpm. Solid arm speed.

Lanky, maturing 6-foot, 155 pound frame. Small side step to an average lift to the mid chest. Shoulders remain level, working to a closed position at balance. Long arm swing with a slight pause at the bottom gets to a high-3/4 slot. Lands on-line and square with average extension, finishing with athleticism. Fastball played straight, flashing an ability to get it to both sides at 80-82. Breaking ball uses gradual 10/4 tilt, ranging 64-69 with solid hand speed. Consistently landed the breaking ball throughout the bullpen and flashed an ability to expand with it when asked. Slows the delivery and arm a bit on the change-up. Some arm side run to the change at 66-71. Frame suggests continued growth coming. As arm loosens through the delivery the hand speed should continue to accelerate as well.
10/10/19
Projection left in a lanky, athletic frame. Stands 6-foot, 150. Repeats the delivery allowing the arm to work with some ease and above average quickness. Fastball was up to 83, sitting 80-83. Fastball spin rate ranges 2176 – 2273 rpm. Elevated at times, there is run to the arm side. Fastball should continue to jump as the body adds strength. Breaking ball has late, sharp at times, 11/5 tilt. Sitting 65-68 the breaking ball comes from a quick arm. Good feel for landing and expanding the pitch. Curveball spun at 2589 rpm. Small step forward and easy turn to a leg lift that loads the front hip, working to the top of the chest. Clean separation and easy arm swing to a high-3/4 slot. Smooth, works on-line, landing in-line and square. Average extension. Stable head throughout. Flooded the zone with the 2-pitch mix.
8/08/19
Average 6-foot, 150 pound frame. Thin, there is length in the limbs. Compact, stable delivery that is repeated. Smooth, level rhythm, working in-line. Long, loose arm swing with average arm speed to a high-3/4 slot. Lands on-line and square with average extension. Fastball attacked the zone at 81-82. Flashed an ability to elevate the fastball and pitch with it down in the zone. Breaking ball is a little soft with early, gradual 11/5 tilt at 69-71. Landed the breaking ball and showed an ability to expand to create chase. If arm speed continues to tick up, the body and frame are in positions to take jumps.
