Comments:
Righty with occ. hammer but little command or strikes. Sturdy, squatty build. Hip tucker. Stays
balanced with gd direction in straight line towards plate. Arm circle is without incident, not esp.
quick. Nothing in deliv. that should make throwing strikes as hard as it is for him. Light FB. Gets
under it and causes lots of flatness. Sits @ 88. Occ. cut and sink. Misses wrong side of plate with
reg. Plus velo on snappy CV. No command or ability to throw strikes. Didn't show an offspd
pitch. Lots of walks. Consis. behind and puts himself in situations where he is forced to throw FB
and he simply doesn't have enuf to get it by hitters. Can only be effective if he is in position to
throw CV at all times. Gets hit. Needs to spend next yr in High A, hard time seeing him getting
results to move any further.
