10/13/18 - Max FB: 83, FB: 78-82, CB: 65-69, KN: 63

6-foot-1, 225-pound, RHP showed advanced feel for spinning a breaking ball while working two hitless innings, striking out one.  Medium, stocky frame w/ present strength throughout, close to mature.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ to OTT release from the first base side of the rubber.  Quiet, repeatable delivery w/ some effort in throw, some head violence.  Glove side can get stronger, just along for the ride.  Quick arm.  Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation, flashes tightness w/ late bite.  Buried the only KN he threw on this day, more of a gimmick pitch.  Filled the zone with the CB (11 of 14 for strikes), around the zone with the FB.  Tools to command.

10/13/18 - Home-1^st: 5.19, Position Velocity:  IF-84, Exit Velocity: 87
6-foot-1, 225-pound, LHH picked up a hit in game, but likely profiles best on the mound.  Medium, stocky frame w/ present strength throughout, close to mature.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, slightly crouched stance w/ hand rhythm into shift of weight, short leg kick and short hand load.  Generates bat speed through the zone.  Appeared to be rusty in the box on this day, was consistently late, causing him to the ball on the ground and not catching it out in front to capitalize on his power.  Repeatable swing.  Projectable pull power.  Defensively, shows solid hands w/ projectable carry through target arm strength and solid footwork for size.

6/13/18 - Max FB: 84, FB: 80-82, Avg FB: 80.47, CB: 65-68, CH: 68, KN: 59-63
6-foot-1, 225-pound, RHP showed intriguing 4 pitch mix w/ some velocity upside.  Medium, stocky frame w/ well-proportioned present strength throughout, close to mature build.  Pitches from a full wind-up into over the top to H ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Downhill plane w/ quick arm.  Some effort in the throw.  Clean, repeatable delivery.  Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation.  Early breaker comes up out of hand.  Straight CH w/ occasional short fade.  KN showed little spin, big velocity differential, will throw from different arm slots.  Relies on velo difference to throw off hitters.   Around the zone w/ his 4-pitch mix, projects to command.  Generated 3 swing and misses on 10 swings.

6/13/18 - Home-1^st: 4.88, Position Velocity:  IF-78, Exit Velocity: 90
6-foot-1, 225-pound, LHH showed intriguing bat speed while collecting a hit in game w/ zero swing and miss on 5 swings.  Medium, stocky frame w/ well-proportioned present strength throughout, close to mature build.  Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, upright stance w/ short hand rhythm into shift of weight, mini leg kick and no hand load.  Generates above average bat speed through the zone, flashes whip.  Explodes on the baseball.  Pull oriented approach.  Can drift on occasion, learning to keep weight back and consistently explode on the baseball.  Present pull power w/ projectable all fields power as frame matures.  Projectable below average runner.  Defensively, shows easy arm strength w/ solid hands, moves well defensively.  Intrigues w/ overall offensive potential.
