Uncommitted; 6-foot, 170-pound right hander has a live, loose arm and a lean projectable frame. Athletic, up-tempo delivery with good consistency. FB was down a tick at 80-82 compared to 81-85 this summer, but showed some serious feel for spin (Max: 2397 rpm via Trackman). Mixed a sharp 11/5 CB at 70-72, while spinning it up to 2661 rpm via Trackman. Commanded the zone with both pitches while developing a CH at 72-74. Polak will be a nice 22' add, especially once he cleans up the lower half to tap into his velo upside.
7/21/20
6’0, 170-pound RHP showed off the ability to generate swing and misses on his FB, getting 5 on 9 on this day. Medium, athletic frame w/ some present lower half strength, projectable. Has just tapped into his frame potential. On the mound, the righty pitched from a full wind-up into a H ¾ release w/ a super quick arm. Arm speed suggests significantly more velocity coming as frame matures. Effort in the throw, can be stronger with his glove-side to help with direction and realizing a couple more ticks of his velocity ceiling. Straight FB showed occasional cut. Mixed in 1 breaking ball that appeared to slip out of his hand a bit and stay up and to the arm-side. Sprayed the zone on this day. Intriguing upside arm to continue to follow up on.
