PBR Bay Area Open - Lean bodied right-hander with streamlined proportions, has shaped his 5-foot-11, 160-pound body well, not a big person but has the functional strength to control his body well on the mound. Energetic delivery, high knee lift, works well over the rubber and starts down the slope with good tempo and direction. Quick deep stab on the backside and comes out of it well, which doesn't always happen with high school pitchers that get deep on the backside. Does land with a bit of a heel strike but maintains good energy through the plate. Four-pitch repertoire includes fastball (77-79 mph) that if controlled well has enough movement to be mixed with his curveball and change-up. The secondary offerings were on point, with feel of the 65-66 mph curveball and 71-73 mph slider. It was impressive that he was able to throw each and not have them morph into a slurveball. Change-up (71-73 mph) with quite a bit of late fade/run and thrown with arm speed reflective of his fastball. Not a big time stuff guy but showed nice pitchability.
BAY AREA OPEN INF - Medium frame, long through the middle with length in the limbs as well; space in frame to take on more strength. Utilizes shorter stride (7.61 60yd) with high posture. Tall, narrow posture with slightly opened stance having high toe lift and turn with hands having pronounced lift. Hands are direct and steep working to backspin the baseball with quick lift upon two-hand finish (84 EV); worked in the middle of the field and pull gap. Moves well in the field with the ability to open his hips and drop step to add range using his soft glove to funnel back to the middle; loose arm compact with longer release able to make throws from different angles (76 MPH). Liked the frame and defensive skills with growth available in the bat.
