2/15/20 Position Player
Hit: Smooth, easy stroke from the right side. Slightly downhill path. All fields appraoch with more natural backspin to middle/back side of the field.
Power: Much more to come. A little quicker than he is physical now but tools should even up as he fills out that projectable frame. Line drive guy presently.
Offensive Projection: Multiple Roles.
Field: Very quick feet in the infield with fluid actions. Showed the abilty to maintain consistent momentum throughout the process. Ball skills are ahead of the curve for class.
Throw: Clean arm with 77 mph arm strength to home plate.
Defensive Projection: Corner Outfield.
2/15/20 Pitching
Delivery Notes: Easier, fluid delivery on the mound. Rolls through a chest high leg lift into a tall and fall type load. Long back arm action. Arm works. More velo to come.
Fastball: 74-78 mph. Mostly true. Should see easy velo gains.
Curveball: 64-65 mph. 11/5, big breaker. WIll tighten up with maturity. Had feel for the offering.
Changeup: Serviceable third offering. Good sell.
