Additional Comments:

Body Type: 5-foot-11, 155-pound athletic frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Moves well on the mound. Position player background shows with his mobility/movement patterns. Arm works well through an over the top slot.
Fastball: 79-81 mph. Ball jumps. Very high spin rate guy so velo plays up, 2100-2300. Cuts the ball a little bit, could see instant velo jump if he learns to get behind the ball more efficiently.
Curveball: 65-68 mph. Above average offering. Near 12/6 shape with some late bite to it.
Pitchability: Threw strikes on this day.
Additional Comments: Stuff is for real if he can consistently be in the zone and he also has room to grow still.

5-foot-10, 195-pound southpaw with physical build for the age. Only were able to see him throw to three batters coming off an extended weekend outing, but saw enough to give us a reason to catch another outing in the future and follow his progress. Mechanically sound delivery that requires a little more than regular effort. Moves very efficiently down the mound. Clean arm action that works through a high ¾ slot. Fastball shows good life with some late arm side movement working at 77-79 mph. Curveball is near 12/6 with bigger break at 59-63 mph. Spins it tight and should turn into an above average pitch as arm speed catches up to the hand speed.  Definite arm strength which was displayed throughout game play, the workout, and on the bump. Two-way prospect. Gets things started with a double tap for timing at the plate. Hands show slight back load before accelerating the barrel through the zone on a mostly level path that has some loft at times. Intent driven swing with the natural tools to do damage when he connect. Middle of the lineup type bat with loft power to pull side. Impressed in the outfield. Actions are athletic and he plays with feel out there. Ball skills are well above average through and arm is a huge tool. Arguably the top throw tool at the event.

60-yard dash: 7.3
Outfield Velocity: 82
Exit Velocity: 88
