Grip Strgth (LH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Grip Strgth (RH)
Grip strength is a measure of a players bat control and ability to transfer power and speed during impact, measured in pounds of force generated; collected with elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Positional Profile: RHP Long, durable right-hander with clean mechanics, late life on the fastball, and developing secondary pitches that show swing-and-miss potential.
Body: 6-3, 211-pounds. Athletic, sturdy frame with present strength and room for continued physical development.
Delivery: Tall, upright setup with glove positioned at chest height. Employs a high leg kick to generate rhythm and drive, creating strong separation between hips and hands. Maintains balance and control throughout, finishing with a full, directional follow-through down the mound.
Arm Action: RH. Delivers from a high 3/4 arm slot with a full-circle arm path, generating a long, whippy release that creates late arm speed and extension. Natural follow-through while maintaining balance and directional control toward the plate.
FB: T89, 86-87 mph. FB with ride/run traits; above-average vertical carry and moderate arm-side life. Induced whiffs in and at the top of the zone. T2258, 1989 average rpm.
SL: 75-75 mph. SL shows sharp vertical bite with little sweep. The depth makes it effective for potential swing-and-miss situations. Work in progress pitch. 2238 average rpm.
CH: 76-79 mph. Tumbling action with heavy arm-side run and minimal vertical drop. The low spin helps play into the late fade, creating separation from the FB and inducing weak contact and missed barrels. T1700, 1629 average rpm.
Positional Profile: RHP/OF High-ceiling starter potential right-hander with lots of movement on pitches.
Body: 6-4, 206-pounds. Athletic, firm frame with plenty of strength to add.
Delivery: Tall, straight up stance. Glove set at chest level. High leg kick. Strong hip-hands separation. Follows through fully.
Arm Action: RH. Low 3/4 arm slot. Full circle arm path. Long, whip-like release. Medium recoil after release.
FB: T88, 87-88 mph. Live pitch. Slight arm-side run. Can command well. T2121, 2056 average rpm.
SL: 70-71 mph. Has sweeping action. Great horizontal break. T2102, 2063 average rpm.
