5-foot-11 175. Xavier showed satisfactory mechanics with some rhythm in delivery, with a short arm action. His FB showed a natural cut at times and registered 77-79. X spun a slider, 67-70, which at times had good spin with short late life. The change up, 69-72, looks like it could be serviceable off the FB with good ASR action. Garrity appeared to have more in the tank and with noticeable competitiveness could be an intriguing follow.
