Physical: Strong, durable frame with an XL build (6-foot-2, 210lbs) and features a typical starter’s frame moving forward.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle/left side of the rubber with a moderate side rocker into a medium/high leg lift above the waist. Good pace throughout the delivery getting into footstrike with leverage in the arm action (high ¾, good tilt). FB ranged from 80-83 mph with noticeable extension out in front (6.58 feet average) mixing a sharp, two-plane 71-73 mph breaker at 11/5 shape (50% zone rate). Added a solid 72-74 mph CH that killed spin later, giving him three effective pitches for strikes at any time. FB, CB are the two most confident in that order.
2/07/21
Physical: Physically-imposing 6-foot-2, 210-pound frame with power in the actions.
Pitching: RHP - Utilized a quick tempo on the bump with a high leg lift showing moderate hip coil around the backside, good lower half drive and a high ¾ slot on the way through. FB ranged from 83-85 mph flashing heavy play into the zone (2000+ average spin and low, 12.7 inches of IVB). Mixed a tight 70-72 mph breaker featuring two-plane shape and consistent, slurve action into the zone. Countered with a developing 74 mph CH appearing to show minor depth.
7/15/20
Physical: Large and projectable 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame with feel for a strong lower half.
Pitching: RHP - Side rocker step with moderate rhythm throughout the delivery, medium-high leg lift with solid lower half drive towards the plate out of the stack, quality hip shoulder separation upon footstrike allowing the arm to come through a high ¾ slot with quickness on the release. FB ranged form 80-83 mph showing an upwards of 1895 spin per Trackman Baseball, mixed in a sharp 70-72 mph CB with 11/5 shape as the out pitch, up to 2241 spin and saw swing and misses in game action / sharp, late plane.
2/23/20
Displayed a large 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame with present strength in his actions. The primary right-handed pitcher sat 78-81 mph out of a whippy, high ¾ arm-slot with repeatability. Mixed in a 63-67 mph curveball with 11/5 shape and depth down in the zone. Countered with a 68-71 mph changeup with adequate sell and straight action. Featured a 67-68 mph knuckleball that demonstrated occasional tumbling action. Showcased the ability to throw two and at times three pitches for strikes allowing for a tough at bat against. Overall solid bullpen with more in the tank, as he should see a velocity tick in the near future.
6/11/19
6-foot-2, 190-pound underclassman with a projectable frame. Primary pitcher sat 74-76 from a high 3/4 arm slot. Displayed a balanced, repeatable delivery that begins with a side rocker step. Showed above average command and a feel for three pitches. Curveball at 63-67 shows promise with 11/5 rotation. Currently utilizes a knuckle ball at 63-65 as his changeup. Worked three innings in game actions allowing four hits and one run while striking out three batters.
