Average frame at 6-foot-1, 210 pounds. Stretch only. Leg lift to the mid-chest with some hand rhythm. Long arm swing with some uphill tilt in the shoulders. Lands on-line and square. Over-the-top slot with good extension. Fastball ranged 80-83, around the zone. Breaking ball works with downer action, occasionally late tilt, at 74-75. Found feel for the spin pitch the more he threw it. Change up at 71-72. Hand speed was near that of fastball.
08.26.17 Working out of the stretch only, the 6-foot, 185 pound righty works with a long arm swing to an over-the-top slot. Tall through balance, there is some effort in the arm and release. Fastball ranged 77-79, erratic at times. Fastball would cut when thrown to the glove side. Change-up works with near fastball hand speed, showing fade, at 71-72. Breaking ball works for 10/4 tilt at 60-62. Thrown with a stiff wrist, the pitch tends to stay arm side and spin. On the infield, has some rhythm in his feet, heavy at times as they work to play through the catch and exchange. Transitions the ball to a long arm action and high-3/4 slot. 83 mph across the diamond with some accuracy and carry. Right handed hitter ran a 7.53 sixty. Slightly closed in his setup at the plate, uses a leg kick to load the weight back. Drifts to the front side, wanting extension. Lacked some barrel awareness with a swing geared to pull. Exit velocity peaked at 80.
