01.21.18 Young 5-foot-11, 154 pounds. Right handed hitter is tall in the box, working with a slight toe tap to transition his weight back. Short stride and repeatable swing. Around some balls. Gets pull conscious. Some barrel awareness. Exit velocity up to 75 when on the barrel. Straight line infielder, working to get through the ball. Deep hands and vertical through the transition as the hips stay high. Long feet and arm swing to a high-3/4 slot with a positional velocity of 68. Ran a 3.14 in the twenty and showed decent quickness with a 5.07 shuttle (5-10-5). Standing broad jump of 7’10” On the mound, a long arm swing has an over-the-top release. Fastball touched 69, sitting 65-67. Showed feel for the strike zone in the 2nd half of the bullpen. Level and on-line, fights for rhythm in the delivery, again improving as the bullpen closed. Only threw a couple of breaking balls at 55-56. Around with his hand most of them. Look for the pitch to improve with strength and time.
