6-2, 190-pound mid-80s right-hander with a mid-70s slider and a feel for a changeup.
6-foot-2, 200-pound right-handed pitcher. The arm is clean, slightly above 3/4 in slot and the tempo of the delivery is solid. The feet have a bit of crossfire to them. The arm is short in path and he repeats. The fastball sat 84-85 mph and was straight. The spin pitch is wide in shape, needs more fastball hand speed to it, sitting 73-74. He did throw a couple shorter spin pitches, which were the best I have seen from him. The changeup is 73-75 mph and straight, the pitch needs a spin fix and fade action to it. I do think there is a huge upside to this arm, it is clean, quick and works well. The pitches are above average at this age, just need a few small tweaks.
