10/21/17 - Max FB: 89, FB: 86-89, CB: 70-72, CH: 77-78
5-foot-10, 175-pound, RHP touched 89 twice while showing feel for throwing off-speed pitches for strikes.  Short, athletic frame w/ present strength in lower half.  From the wind-up, pitches with a rocker step into replacing drive foot on the first base side of the rubber.  Balance point into separation w/ short in the back-arm circle and upright finish in high effort throw.  Legs along for the ride, projects for velocity gain as he utilizes that strength.  Quick arm w/ deception due to short in back.  Occasional arm side run on FB, mostly straight.  Medium downer CB is early breaker, average depth.  Threw the CH w/ arm-speed, showing fade, occasional sink.  Developing control, shows a feel for not missing in the middle of the plate.  14 of 25 for strikes with 3 of 9 swing and miss on FB.  Very intriguing 2018 arm that is a must see for a school looking for a RHP.

10/7/17 - 5-10, 180-pound righty w/ quick arm, featuring FB up to 88.  Short, athletic frame w/ physical projection.  Pitches from a high effort full wind-up w/ ¾ release.  Can engage his legs more, high velo ceiling.  FB shows occasional arm side run, occasional ride through zone.  CB got better as outing went deeper.  Has a tendency to slow everything down.  Slurve that flashed late break, potential swing and miss pitch w/ development.  Mixed in a sidearm CH.  Big uncommitted 2018 arm w/ present velo.
