Physical: Strong and well proportioned 6-foot-3, 205lb frame with an imposing presence on the hill. Above-average strength in the build shows in the movements.
Pitching: RHP - Starts off the left side of the rubber with a quick paced delivery, short side rocker followed by a balanced, even stack position before athletically driving out with increased stride length towards the mitt. Gets over the front side well at release and everything works on time creating consistency and repeatability in the windup. Early hand break assisting a deep, rhythmic takeaway entering a high ¾ slot on the release. Pounded the top half of the zone with ride on the FB (82-84, T85) and created near 30 Bauer units of power. Mixed a 68-71 mph curveball that flashed big depth on occasion and countered with a harder 72-74 mph SL. Killed spin/faded a fourth offering (72-74 CH) with enough feel to throw for strikes.

Physical: Above-average strength in a large 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame with grace in the movements.
Pitching: RHP - Started from the middle-left side of the rubber utilizing good pace in the delivery. Worked down the mound with athleticism out of a slightly above-average leg lift, good hip-shoulder upon footstrike allowing for some arm-speed out of a high ¾ slot. FB ranged from 80-82 mph with good extension (6.2 feet average) and ride (20.5 inches of IVB) displaying increased play above the belt. Mixed in a developing 70-72 mph SL with short horizontal shape coupled with a solid 74-76 mph CH that could kill spin.
6/15/20
Physical: 6-foot-2, 195 pounds; big, athletic build. Pitching: Sets up just on the glove side of the rubber, side steps, front side seems to open early leading to him falling off during his finish. Moderate take back with a high 3/4 arm slot. FB: T 82 MPH, 78-82 MPH. Shows life through the zone. CB: 68-71 MPH. 11-5 shape. SL: 72 MPH.CH: 73 MPH. Deceptive arm speed, arm side run.
2/22/20
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound primary right-handed pitcher showcased a physical frame with present strength in his actions. The righty utilized a slow-tempoed, controlled windup commanding 78-81 mph fastballs with downhill plane out of a quick, high 3/4 arm-slot. Mixed in a 65-66 mph curveball with 11/5 shape in the zone and countered with a 69-70 mph slider thrown with more horizontal break across the plate. Showed feel for three pitches thrown with similar arm-speeds allowing for deception and tunneling in the delivery making for a tough at bat.
9/10/17
5-foot-11, 135-pound primary pitcher sat 68-70 from a 3/4 arm slot with significant fall to the first base side. Curveball sat 63-64 with 10/4 rotation while slider showed shorter, cutter break at the same velocity. Changeup is thrown at near fastball velocity with some cut action at 63-65. The right-handed hitter starts from a wide base and uses a leg-hand stride to initiate his swing. A deep load leads to some barrel drag with a bat exit velocity of 64 mph. Moves well around the bag at first base with accurate 71 mph arm strength across the diamond. Ran an 8.52 60-yard dash.
