2/23/20
2/22/20 Position Player Hit: Step from behind approach with a vertical stance that shows a long lengthy swing that shows some power. Power: 93mph exit velo with a max distance of 284 feet.

Fastball: 80-82mph with a 2100-2300rpm spin rate on Rapsodo. Curveball: 65-69mph with a 2200-2400rpm spin rate on Rapsodo with sharp 12-6 movement. Changeup: 77mph, quality third offering, hard sink.
7/09/19
Body Type: 6-foot-2, 190-pound physical frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: A taller delivery without much involvement of the lower half. A short arm action that is simple and smooth.
Fastball: 77-79mph. A live pitch with slight arm side movement. Thrown in the zone consistently with potential to locate on the corners. 2,000-2,200 rpm spin rate with high 90% efficiency on Rapsodo.
Curveball: 65-67mph. Sharp bite on a 12/6 plane. Best offering that induces swing and misses. Serves as a put away pitch but can be thrown in any count.
Changeup: 70-71mph. Slight arm side drop that comes out of the same slot as fastball. Keeps hitters off balance.
Pitchability: In the zone consistently with potential to locate on the corners of the plate.
Additional Comments: A young prospect to follow and watch develop.
Body Type: 6-foot-2, 190-pound athletic frame.
Swing Mechanics: Open stance with a smooth load into his back leg. Keeps his hands loose and loaded through contact.
Hit: Level bat path with a middle of the field approach. Produces true backspin to the gaps. Swings with intent. Power: Ball jumped when squared. Showed gap abilities. Top exit velo off the bat in BP was 92.8 in BP. Offensive Projection: Run producer traits.
6/03/19
Body Type: 6-foot-2, 187-pound physical frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: High leg kick with a tight arm action and explosive lower body. Ideal mechanics to develop with.
Fastball: 80-82mph. Ability to locate within the strike zone.
Curveball: 65-69mph. 11/5 movement with some depth. Consistently thrown in the strike zone.
Changeup: 77mph. Not enough difference in velocity to be effective.
Pitchability: In the zone with all pitches with ability to locate fastball within strike zone.
5/4/18 A good athlete that can play multiple positions and had a strong showing off the bump. Leading with his abilities on the mound his fastball sat 70-74 with a occasional arm side run. Breaking ball has an 11/5 look to it with gradual action at 59-63 mph. Also showed feel for a changeup. At the plate he has a relatively closed stance where and shifts weight from back to front for rhythm prior to getting into loading sequence. Goes with a small leg kick for energy while hands show a slight back load. Strength is his top tool at the plate. Path is level with some loft. A gap threat presently with more juice to come at bat speed catches up to strength with maturity.
