Physical: 6-0, 173 pounds; Proportional, Slight build.
Pitching: Uses a glove side setup working primarily from the stretch. Mid chest leg drive with a slight lean over the belt. Has a long stride while landing slightly closed. Short take back while showing some scap load; high/over the top slot. Spins off 1B side with finish. FB: Peak velo of 81 MPH, while sitting 77-81 MPH; plays up in the zone. SL: 67-70 MPH; slurve like.
Physical: Taller, longer bodied 5-foot-11, 170lb frame. 7.08 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH. Wider, balanced stance, as the hands operated with rhythm just above the shoulder. Utilized a stretched leg lift stride to initiate the swing through a slight uphill path into the hitting zone. Notched a T85 mph bat-exit velocity, spraying around head-high contact during batting practice.
Defensively: The outfielder bounced around during evals with late momentum at the fielding window allowing for an 82 mph arm strength off of a crow hop. Accurate thrower who generated a full arm circle at release.
Pitching: RHP. Simple delivery from a compact stack and stretch-only. Middle of the rubber setup, repeated well, and landed upper-70’s FB for strikes. Added a 64-67 mph CB that caught the zone at a 60% clip with occasional two-plane shape.
