Scouting Report
8/9/22
Physical: Strong 6-foot, 195 lb build.
Pitching: Delivery repeats with good pace and balance through out. Arm is loose and fluid through a natural 3/4 slot (5 ft. release height). The FB has life out of the hand and projects to get swing and misses at the top of the zone with a 27 spin score and IV up to 18". Counters with a CB that has good spin and plus movement (2362 RPM / -13' IVB / 16" Horizontal) while the change up flashes arm side fade with low spin. The arm is electric and is likely to continue to develop, will be a great fit for both sides at Herkimer CC.
6/30/21
Physical: Strong, compact frame at 6-foot, 185lbs with connection in the actions. 7.88 runner in the 60-yard dash.
Offensively: RHH - Shoulder-width, balanced stance to begin with the hands operating in subtle rhythm to start. Utilized a directional leg lift, landing even and initiating through a slightly uphill path into the hitting zone. Lifted the torso up at the end of the swing, generating some loft in the approach and notched a clean 40% line drive rate (via Trackman). Had some of his best results to dead pull, letting the hands work to extension and produced a T90 mph bat-exit velocity with occasional doubles power.
Defensively: The outfielder chopped his feet early, holding crouched momentum over the front-side while staying behind the baseball until getting a good read. Fielded off his middle/left, funneling softly and releasing from an on-time H ¾ slot (83 mph arm, corner OF).
Pitching: RHP - Started from the left side of the rubber with some efficiency down the slope; held moderate pace and got to a comfortable stack position (medium height) before creating separation at hand break. H ¾ release and held the zone at 80-81 mph on the FB with heavy action. Mixed in a sharp, swing/miss breaking ball in the mid 60’s, showing hard sweep and turned to a developing 74-76 mph CH that could tunnel at times.
3/27/21
Physical: Athletic 5-foot-11, 180 lb frame.
Pitching: Controlled pace with a leg lift and coil before kicking out to a slightly open landing and getting to a repeatable release with a balanced follow through. moderate arm swing to a side 3/4 release (4'.2" release height)
FB: Elevates through the top of the zone with some arm side run. CB: Swing and miss 2-plane breaker with depth through the zone. CH: Kills the spin with arm side fade up to 14".
