10/7/18 - Central Coast Open - 6-foot-0, 165-pounds, younger body type, good frame to add size and strength in coming years. On the mound delivery starts on wide step to rocker with long actions down by the backside then getting quickly up to an overhand slot that looks a little unnatural and a bit forced as he pulls his head off line to get his arm through. Can work to create more rhythm/smoothness and better timing by working to stay over the rubber longer. Good direction down slope though with heel strike and early front hip. Fastball (72-74 mph) with fair movement, 12/5 curveball (59-63 mph) with rolling tumble action. Best pitch was change-up (64-65 mph) with some feel and he kept that pitch down.

Position - Average runner but the body type and physical projectability suggest faster times are ahead. Swing starts balanced with high hands that are quick with high finish (85 MPH exit velo).  Stays behind the ball well, driving into his heels to loft balls into right centerfield from a direct path. From outfield comes up with high front side getting to high release off a longer action. Shows off growing strength in arm with online throws (73 MPH) giving strong hops for catchers.
