7/22/15 5-foot-11, 190-pound frame. Not much to note from his time on the mound other than his stuff was down from previous events and, like some others at this stage of the summer, he looked a little worn down physically. Has previously shown a fastball at 80-82 accompanied by a mid-60s curveball and upper-60s slider.

Right-handed hitter started from a slightly open stance and strode to square. Has strength in his frame and kept his head still throughout his swing. Posted 83-mph exit velocity and 75-mph arm strength during workout. Doesn’t have greatest range due to lack of footspeed, but has shown on multiple occasions that he will make plays if the ball is hit in his vicinity.

6/17/15 Medium frame (5-foot-11, 190-pounds) with strength in lower half. Pitched out of a high three-quarter slot with fastball at 80-82. Employed two distinct breaking balls: an 11/5 curveball at 64-65 and a slider with short cut action at 67-68.

6/17/15 5-foot-11, 190-pound right-handed hitter. Started from a slightly open stance and took a minimal stride to square. Has strength in frame and maintained posture during swing, which has some length to it. Showcased 83-mph exit velocity and 78-mph arm strength during workout (ran FB up to 82 in game). Doesn’t have the fastest feet and fielded the ball deep, but made some really nice in-game plays on the move and showed a very accurate throwing arm.

1/17/15 Lehman sat 78-80 from a high 3/4 arm slot with some hip coil to his delivery. The 5-foot-9, 225-pound junior displayed a 70 mph curveball with 11/5 rotation and a solid 72 mph changeup with arm side run thrown at fastball arm speed. Lehman showed command of all three pitches and the potential for velocity spikes as his frame continues to mature.
