2/9/20 Pitching
Delivery Notes: Long, loose arm with a regular effort delivery. Solid hip rotation adds lower half juice. Repeatable delivery through a ¾ arm slot.
Fastball:  Frame suggests more to come especially as he gets into his legs. Arm side movement. Bottom of the zone guy.
Fastball Spin Rate: 1990-2240.
Curveball: 11/5 plane gradual break with some depth.
Curveball Spin Rate: 2030-2140.
Changeup: Slight fade enough to keep batters off balance.

Body Type: 6-foot-5, 195-pound lengthy frame.
Mechanical/Delivery Notes: A lower leg kick without much lower half involvement throughout the delivery. A lower ¾ arm action that is long and deceiving.
Fastball: 81-84mph. Sharp arm side movement on the offering that dives into the hands of right-handed batters. 2,000-2,200 rpm spin rate with high 90% efficiency on Rapsodo. 
Curveball: 68-69mph. Moves on an 11/5 plane with more depth over action that tended to drop off at the end. In the zone some of the time. Utilized often early in counts.
Changeup: 70-71mph. Slight arm side drop that keeps hitters off balance. Least utilized offering.
Pitchability: In the zone most of the time but missed arm side and high when out of the zone.
Additional Comments: Makes the heads turn as there is potential in this arm.

Swing Mechanics: Right-handed hitter that starts in an upright setup.
Hit: Long lever type who can do damage when he gets extended. Very projectable frame. Upside bat who has a chance for much more as he fills out that frame. Turned on the ball, flashing authority in BP.
