Uncommitted. 6 foot 4, 160 pounds. One of best deliveries in the class (tempo, compactness, connection, efficiency) spun his 68-70 T71 CB was the best we’ve seen as of yet, w/ tighter shape & flashed 2 plane depth. The pitch would’ve been nearly the same velo as NPI but since the FB velo was down at 82-84 T85, it brought down the breaking ball velo although it had more of a CB shape and sharper action. The FB however, maintained explosive sink & tail as he peppered arm side edge. Crazy upside! He creates a gradual buildup in the delivery with a smooth, connected mid circle AA arm spd, shoulders match slot perfectly. At NPI, he was FB 84-86 T87 heavy. The SLV was 72-74 sweep but lacked shape & depth. We wouldn’t be surprised if he ends up with one of the best FB’s in the state for his class, so it was very encouraging to see the breaking ball tighten up. An enormous jump is coming before he leaves high school. You can catch him on Team Georgia during Future Games!

6-foot-4, 160-pound left-handed pitcher, long, lean frame, lots of room to add. Has seen an 8 mph velo increase since last summer, now topping out at 87, sitting 83-86 with sinking action. Consistently got strikes with fastball, located armside effectively for swing and misses, got a lot of taken strikes with as well. Curveball, 72-73, 2/8 shape.
