6/19/18
A projectable right-hander that continues to show why he is regarded as one of the more intriguing unsigned guys in the ‘19 class. Huge, long-limbed frame at 6-foot-6, 210-pounds. Shows a slower paced tempo to his lower effort delivery. Arm is compact and clean through a high-¾ slot. Fastball will show both run and cut at times, sitting 79-81 mph. Spins a slider that gets better each time we see it. Showed both depth and sharpness on an 11/5 plane at 71-73 mph. Also offers a breaking ball with more of an 11/5 look that is a quality offering. A strike thrower that was in the zone with all of his offerings.  Cruised through his outing with regular weak contact and his fair share of strikeouts.

A two-way prospect with an ideal frame for the corners. Actions can improve in fluidity. Footwork is developing in quickness and mobility.

8/4/17
Prototypical pitchers frame from the right side at 6-foot-6, 195-pounds. Worked from high-¾ slot and would see some cutting action at times on his fastball that sat 80-82. Creates downhill angle out the hand with arm speed out front. Curveball had downward action with tight rotation at 70-72 that made hitters buckle at times. Still feeling out and becoming comfortable repeating his delivery, does show athleticism for size and age and has major upside on the mound with his leverage and quick arm.
