Notes

Comments

2/17/19

2/17/19

Body Type: 5-foot-11 140-pound right-handed pitching prospect with room to add strength.

Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Quicker tempo with some funk to the delivery. Works down the mound in good direction finishing slightly closed at foot contact.

Fastball: 70-75 mph fastball works out of a low-3/4 slot with slight run to the arm side.

Curveball: 66-69 curveball has a slurvy 11/5 shape and sweeps across the zone.

Changeup: 72-73 mph changeup is thrown with fastball arm speed. The pitch was mostly straight.

Pitchability: Offers a three pitch mix. Was a little erratic with the fastball at times. Varied the shape of the breaking ball. Threw strikes with the changeup but velocity is presently too close to fastball velocity.  

Role: Likely a bullpen arm at the high school level.

 

2/17/19

Body Type: 5-foot-11 140-pound prospect.

Swing Mechanics: Starts in an open, wide stance. Takes a pretty flat bat path with his barrel.

HIt: Good bat to ball ability.

Power: 76 mph exit velocity.
Offensive Projection:
Should profile presently as a line drive singles type of hitter. How he develops physically could change the kind of offensive threat he becomes.

Field: At 3B he waits on the ball and takes minimal angles through the ball with below average footwork. Does show pretty good hands in the field.

Throw: 69 mph across the diamond.

Run: 4.72 home to first.

Defensive Projection: Present arm strength would eliminate the left side of the infield as an option at the next level. How he develops physically will be the most important aspect of he long term defensive projection.
