Body Type: 5-foot 11, 165-pound lefty with smaller but projectable frame and plenty of room to add. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Fast tempo with athleticism that shows on the bump. Drop/drive type delivery that moves through the mound with a fall off to the third base side. Arm is clean and quick with a high ¾ slot. Should expect growth in MPHs as he continues to build frame. Fastball: 73-76. Good command, ball stays true through the zone with solid arm side action and more velo to come down the road. Average spin rate 1600-1800 rpms. Low 90s percentage spin efficiency. Curveball: 58-62. Gradual break with solid control. Comfortable throwing in any count, with above average break into righties/away from lefties. 1-7 break through the zone. Pitchability: Find a way to keep hitters guessing with solid mix of pitches, comfortable under all counts with both offerings. Keeps pitches in the zone and stays in pitcher counts.

Body Type: 5-foot-11, 165 physical athlete Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Releases out of a ¾ arm slot displaying a quick, loose arm action. Provides and even paced tempo with nice rhythm throughout his motion. Brings solid intent behind each throw getting downhill with power. Fastball: 78-81 mph. Ball releases out of hand easily followed with some glove-side run. Lived mostly at or below the knees. Produces strikes. Curveball: 63-64 mph. Nice action to it breaking from 2-7. Has late bite as it enters the hitting zone and showed average command overall. Changeup: 69-71 mph. Showed some depth to it at times and kept at bottom of the zone. Still improving grip to increase movement. Pitchability: Athlete that loves to compete. Pounds the zone often with fastball and improving overall command on off-speed. Exerts great effort in every action he performs which will take him far as he continues to develop. Role: Starter.

Impressed in the outfield. Plays fast with obvious confidence in his abilities. Ball skills are well above average for class. Uses a big crow hop for momentum prior to throwing with 81 mph arm strength to home plate. At the plate the right-hander starts in narrow, open setup. Loading sequence is fluid, launching from a near balanced position. Path is uphill and swing is compact. Produces natural backspin to the middle/opposite field where he sprayed line drives regularly. Tends to get around the ball to pull side. Brings his athleticism to the bump. The southpaw has a very fluid delivery that requires little effort. Uses a chest high leg lift prior to his drop and drive load. Fastball comes out well through a high-¾ slot. Showed impressive command of the pitch working in and out with it. Presently sits 72-74 mph but projects for much more velocity. Breaking ball is tight with some depth on a 12/6 plane at 62-64 mph Changeup was an above average offering showing sink with slight run at 68-69 mph. A strike thrower that has a quality three pitch mix.
