9/20/20
Hit: Smooth stroke with natural strength behind it. Stays within himself, consistently working inside the baseball. Run producer potential. Power: Flashed gap abilities. Offensive Projection: Middle of lineup. Max BP Exit: 82mph. Max BP Distance: 263ft. Field: Frame/skill set play over at first base. Looks comfortable at the spot with developing ball skills. Throw: Clean arm with more to come. Defensive Projection: 1B.
Scouting Notes: Very physical, imposing prospect for class at 6-foot-2, 215-pounds. Moves well on the mound with good feel for his delivery. Ball comes out of a 3/4 slot and is very easy out of the hand. Fastball has regular artm side action and he complements heater with a slurvish breaking ball that shows signs of sharpness. Completing his arsenal is a changeup that was very impressive at times. Definite arm to keep an eye one. Fastball: 65-69mph. Fastball Spin Rates: 1480-1550rpm. Breaking Ball: 55-57mph. Breaking Ball Spin Rates: 1430-1510rpm. Changeup: 55-58mph.
