Physical: Lean and athletic, high waisted 6-foot-5, 188-pound frame with legitimate projectability moving forward.
Pitching: LHP. Featured a slow tempoed, deliberate leg lift in the delivery with control and slight hip coil allowing for extreme athleticism in the arm-swing coming through a high ¾ slot on the front side with good extension. FB worked 83-86 T87 up in the zone with high spin giving it extra life at the letters. Mixed a tight 68-69 mph breaker with 1/7 shape across the zone and countered with a 68-70 mph SL with more horizontal bite. 77-80 mph CH showed good arm speed and deception with adequate command. West Chester commit.

6-foot-4, 188-pound left-handed pitcher sat 82-85 from a high 3/4 arm slot with arm-side run to his fastball. Delivery is repeatable and controlled with some hip coil. Curveball at 65-69 had slider action while changeup at 74-76 showed arm-side fade. Long, lean frame has room to add significant strength with additional velocity likely to come.
10/26/19
Long, projectable 6-foot-4, 185-pound junior sat 83-84 from a high 3/4 arm slot. Showcased a quick arm action with signs of increased velocity in his future. Curveball, while erratic at times, shows biting 12/6 action. Also showcased a a changeup at 71-72 and a cutter with some late movement at 73-74. Definite follow in this class with a chance to make significant strides over the next two years.
