Physical: Long and slender 6-foot-3, 185lb frame with loads of projectability throughout.
Pitching: RHP. Worked out of the stretch from the middle/left side of the rubber. High leg drive with a long stride staying in-line with the plate. Arm wraps far behind the body and pitches downhill. Heavy, low spin FB (avg 1,820 RPM) runs at an average of 13 inches. Filled up the zone with his CB sitting low-to-mid 70s. Flashed effective ASR with a mid 80s CH.

Physical: 6-3, 175 pounds; Long, broad shouldered build. Pitching: Uses a center rubber setup while using a side step. Mid chest leg drive with a slight coil away from the plate. Has a moderate stride while landing slightly closed. Moderate arm swing while showing no restrictions; high 3/4 slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 88 MPH, while sitting 86-88 MPH; heavy with arm side run. CB: 69-71 MPH; slurve like action. CH: 77-80 MPH; fading action. Commands the fastball to both sides with feel for the off speed to land for strikes and expand.
6/14/22
Physical: Uber-projectable frame at 6-foot-3, 175lbs with starter’s upside.
Pitching: RHP. Begins taller from the middle of the rubber; rides the rear hip hinge well before extending down the slope into a firm lead-leg block. The arm worked clean through a full H ¾ slot, grazing the zone with carry-run on an 84-87 mph FB (2210). Added short-action 69-71 mph CB and diving mid-70’s CH, which could be a weapon down the road (1835). Creates good tilt at times over the front side.
