Scouting Report
6/29/22
Physical: Long, athletic build at 6-foot-2, 175 lbs with room to add size and strength.
Pitching: Worked with good pace on the mound attacking hitters with a FB/SL combo. The delivery is repeatable and efficient with a clean, fluid arm action through a low 3/4 release yielding +arm speed (ProPlay AI). Has the ability to locate the FB to both side of the plate and get swing and misses with life through the top of the zone. The Slider has the makings to be a plus out pitch with sharp lateral action (up to 17.8" horizontal ), while flashing two tier break with depth at times.
High ceiling and will be a must follow as he continues to progress.
