5-11, 190-pound righty has experienced a 4-tick velo jump since we last saw him 2 falls ago.  Medium, sturdy frame w/ some present lower half strength, upper body projection.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Quick arm.  Repeatable delivery w/ some effort in the throw.  Arm speed suggests more velocity is coming.  FB shows short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation.  CH w arm-speed, fade and sink.  Intriguing 3-pitch mix, clear definition.  Around the zone w/ 3-pitch mix, feel for throwing secondary for strikes.

5-foot-10, 172-pound, RHP mixed in 4 pitches w/ feel for the strike zone.  Short, stocky profile w/ some present strength in the lower half.  Pitches from a full wind-up w/ short rocker step into first base side of the rubber.  Leg kick into hip drive w/ H ¾ to L ¾ release.  Glove side is along for ride, can be stronger.  Tendency to fall down rubber.  FB shows occasional arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape.  Drops down on short ¾ tilt SL w/ average depth.  CH w/ arm-speed, fade and sink.  Around the zone.

11/18/17 - 30 Time: 4.35, Position Velocity:  IF-79, Exit Velocity: 81
5-foot-10, 172-pound, RHH shows some bat speed.  Short, stocky profile w/ some present strength in the lower half.  Offensively, hits from a straight on, upright stance w/ back shoulder hand location.  Shift of weight, short stride and no hand load.  Singles hitter w/ some feel for line drives.  Flashes ability to generate backspin.  Defensively, shows solid actions w/ long release w/ arm strength w/ carry to target.

1/16/17 - Max FB: 74, FB: 70-74, CB: 58-60, CH: 63-66,
5-foot-10, 172-pound, RHP uses a consistent and steady pace throughout his delivery, leg lift is generic but is effective in getting his front side loaded before heading to the plate, uses some rhythm to generate some momentum, shorter arm action a high ¾ slot leads to a finish that drifts slightly toward the 1B side.  Fastball had some slight run, curveball needs to develop some more movement through the zone, changeup had some sink at the plate.

1/16/17 - 60 Time: 8.25, Position Velocity:  IF-69, Exit Velocity: 76
5-foot-10, 172-pound, RHH hits from a balanced and mostly even stance with his hands in a relaxed position just behind his back shoulder, uses a generic stride with a subtle movement back of his hands to get loaded, lower half certainly gets through but can drift his hips and pull him tall at impact, bat path is a little steep into the zone but can quickly try to lift through the ball, hands can get flicky at times.  Defensively, showed average hands and footwork in the infield, came to a stop upon fielding the ball a few times, exchange can be quick and leads to a short arm action through a high ¾ slot.
