9/30/18 - Max FB: 84, FB: 80-84, CB: 67-70, CH: 77
6-foot-2, 170-pound, RHP struck out 1 in his 2 innings of work while showing super projectable frame and arm speed.  Tall, athletic, long and lanky frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable.  Has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Super quick arm w/ short arm action in back.  Can get stronger with the glove-side, would help direction to the plate and maintain consistency.  Arm works, just waiting on frame to develop to see velocity match arm-speed.  High effort throw.  Straight FB shows occasional short cut.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation when gets on top of the pitch.  Firm CH, buried the only one he threw on this day.  Around the zone w/ the FB, developing control of his secondary stuff.  Tools to command.

9/30/18 - Home-1^st: 4.78, Position Velocity:  IF-83, Exit Velocity: 81
6-foot-2, 170-pound, RHH showed off his super projectable frame and easy arm strength from SS while picking up a hit in game.  Tall, athletic, long and lanky frame w/ well-proportioned lean strength, super projectable.  Has just scratched the surface of his frame potential.  Offensively, hits w/ a straight on, very slightly crouched stance w/ quiet hands into short stride and load.  Barrel gets underneath the shoulders before he engages his load, would benefit from starting with the barrel upright, as it is when he begins his swing, to help shorten his swing and enhace his ability to repeat his swing.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Occasional length, lot of moving parts as he looks to engage.  All fields, line-oriented approach when right.  Projectable pull power.  Stands out as a defender.  Soft hands w/ good footwork and easy arm strength w/ projectable carry through target arm strength.  Shows range to his glove-side while showing the arm strength to make throws from his arm-side.
