6-foot-4, 170-pound, longer, lean athletic frame, with room for added weight. A right-handed pitcher, worked three scoreless innings at the Future Games. Mixed a three pitch mix, weak contact with multiple swing and misses. The delivery, works with easy effort, higher leg kick, longer arm action, working from a higher slot. The direction is inline with extension through release. The fastball touched 84 mph, more straight 4-seamers to outer have, gets out and can locate to glove side. The fastball plays harder than 84 mph. The changeup is a legit out pitch, can throw it in a any count at any point. The breaking ball shows tilt, located to 1/7 mph, thrown for strikes. Showing serious pitch ability, look for velocity to climb in next 6 months.

6-foot-4, 170-pound, longer, thin athletic frame, with plenty of room for added weight gains. A right-handed pitcher, hands start and stay high, smooth higher leg kick, getting loaded on the backside, separation is on time and in the center of the body. Landing inline, has length to the stride, upper half tracks to the plate, with minimal pull to glove side. The arm action is longer and clean on the backside, working from a higher slot, small recoil on finish. The fastball was clocked at 84 mph, pounded down and to both sides of the plate. The changeup is a legit out pitch, clocked at 72 mph, gets to the plate looking like a fastball, creating multiple swing and misses. The breaking ball rolls at times, will need to add more fastball hand speed, shows the proper shape and spin. Good looking projectable arm.

6-foot-4, 170-pound, long, lean, athletic frame. the shoulders are squared off, longer neck, with plenty of room for future advancement. A right-handed pitcher, pounded the zone with a three pitch mix, throwing a legit changeup. The delivery is repeatable, hands start ant stay high, leg lift is smooth and gets to a high powerful gather. The separation is clean, working down through his frame, lands slightly across his body. The arm action is longer, clean on the backside, working from a higher slot. The fastball was located to both sides, 4-seamer, getting through catcher, clocked at 80-82 mph. Threw one of the better changeups we've seen this winter, clocked at 73-74 mph, arm side action, same fastball arm speed, a swing and miss put-away offering. Threw a bigger curveball, needs more fastball hand speed, clocked at 65-66 mph. Look for velocity to climb, needs to add strength and weight gains. Very good looking prospect, need to see him.
