6-foot-4, 160-pound right-handed pitcher with a ton of potential. The fastball sat 84-85 mph with arm side action and downhill at times. The spin pitch was 69-70 mph and can be tighten up as he matures in age. The changeup was 75-76 mph and showed fade and action at times. The delivery is online with the feet and slightly above 3/4 in height. The lift is methodical and he repeats a solid process. The tracking of the front shoulder can improve as he matures in age. The frame is long and lanky, adding weight and strength is a must as he matures as the sky is limit with him in my eyes.

6-foot-4, 160-pound right-handed pitcher. He threw the ball extremely well at the event and his best days are in front of him as the arm works and the frame projects. The fastball sat 84-85 mph with arm side action it. The spin pitch was thrown for strikes at will, sitting 70-73 mph with depth. The changeup was 71-72 mph and solid in fade and action. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is slightly above 3/4. The arm is whippy and loose. The direction is solid, the glove pull can be minimized to improve extension. He is a big time prospect for me.
