1/20/20 Pitching
Delivery Notes: On the mound the righty has good tempo with athletic actions. Clean, compact arm through a high-3/4 slot with above average arm speed. Three-pitch guy with solid stuff.
Fastball: Mostly true through the zone. Lives low in the zone with the pitch. Tosses a four and two seam. 77-78 mph.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1800-2000
Curveball: Well above average offering. Late, sharp break with good spin. Offering has swing and miss potential. 69-71 mph.
Curveball Spin Rate: 1700-1900
Pitchability: Strike thrower.
1/20/20 Position Player
Hit: At the plate he starts with an upright setup before getting into his small leg lift. Very rhythmic up top as he takes hands back to a strong launch position. One of the top rounds we saw on the day, showcasing loud tools and the ability to square up the baseball.
Power: Gap abilities.
Offensive Projection: Run producer.
Top Rapsodo BP Exit Velocity: 76.3
Top Rapsodo BP Distance: 247
Field: Athletic look to him behind the dish. Move well back there/mechanically sound. Exchange skills are above average for class. Also worked out in the infield. Reacts well off the bat with quick feet and solid angles. Ball skills are on par for class.
Throw: Ball jumps out of hand. Well above average arm talent for class.
Defensive Projection: C/3B.
1/21/19 Pitching
Body Type: 5-foot-9 150 pound prospect.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Threw from a ¾ arm slot and would seem to be able to get more velo out of his lower half.
Fastball: 72-75 mph fastball showed some sinking action to it.
Slider: 64-66 mph breaking ball showed a slider type action to it. He kept good arm speed on the pitch and created tight spin.
Changeup: 67-69 mph changeup was mostly true through the zone.
Pitchability: Solid 3 pitch mix with good command. The breaking ball is an above average offering.
Role: The breaking ball was the most advanced pitch of his mix. Shows the potential to be a really good pitch. Profiles more as a bullpen type who can lean on the quality of his breaking ball.
1/21/19
Body Type: 5-foot-9 150 pound prospect.
Swing Mechanics: Balanced stance into a leg kick load with simple hands.

Offensive Projection: Middle of the Lineup.
