6-foot-4, 215-pound projectable frame; LHP/1B. At the plate, the left-handed hitter had an exit velocity of 84 mph. Begins in balanced stance, has a smooth load and uses a short stride. Uses a flat swing plane, and his bat speed is quick. While in the infield, showed ability to throw up to 74 mph across the field; feet were rhythmic and his hands were sure. Had a loose arm action and a high ¾ slot. On the mound, he showed a high ¾ angle. He is a tall-and-fall type pitcher. His curveball (61-63 mph) worked best when he spotted up low in the zone; 11/5 curveball showed plus action. His fastball was clocked at 77-80 mph. He successfully located his changeup for a strike at 71-72 mph. Shows depth on knuckleball at velocities of 66-69 mph.
6/13/18 - Max FB: 80, FB: 77-80, Avg FB: 77.05, CB: 66-69, CH: 70-73 6-foot-4, 200-pound, LHP shows super projectable frame w/ feel for 3-pitch mix. Tall, sturdy frame w/ present lower half strength, super projectable. Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the middle of the rubber. Lot of moving parts in clean delivery. Some head violence. Quick arm, flashes ability to get lower half involved. Downhill plane w/ angle. FB shows short arm-side run. Medium downer CB flashes tight rotation, late bite. Learning to stay on top of it and not getting around it. CH w/ arm-speed, short fade and sink. Around the zone, as he learns to control his frame and consistently repeat his delivery, projects to command. Generated 5 swing and misses on 12 swings, 42 % rate for an upcoming sophomore.
6/13/18 - Home-1st: 5.07, Position Velocity: IF-80, Exit Velocity: 79 6-foot-4, 200-pound, LHH collected a hit in game with zero swing and miss on 7 swings. Tall, sturdy frame w/ present lower half strength, super projectable. Offensively, hits w/ a slightly open, slightly crouched, slightly hunched over stance w/ short hand rhythm into leg kick and short hand load w/ low hand location. Generates bat speed through the zone. Rhythm hitter w/ a tendency to drift forward. When keeps lower and upper half in sync, shows ability to drive the baseball. Projectable pull power as frame develops. Tools to hit, just needs reps against quality pitching. Projectable below average runner, would not expect him to be a clogger as frame develops. Defensively, shows soft hands at first base w/ easy arm strength across the diamond. Projectable above average defender. Legitimate 2-way prospect.
