Comments:
Slow starter with some p/abil. XL frame. Very lean, long limbed. Gd body. May add another
10-15 lbs. Some deception in deliv. w/arms and legs flailing all over. Full leg lift. Deliv. seems
pieced together. Backside releases well. Pulls glove arm hard down as he moves towards plate
which pulls his lower half open and leads to open landing. Everything works well from side,
balanced and smoother. Long A/A hides well behind narrow torso. Some tension in arm, not esp.
quick. Light FB takes a while to get warmed up. Will sit @ 88 as he loosens. Not much command.
Armside mostly w/FB for first few innings then he begins to be able to work it the other way.
Some sinkage. Pitches away from contact in an effort to try and miss some bats. When he goes in
with FB he gets hit hard. Soft and lazy breaking ball. Not hard enuf nor is command avg. Occ.
snaps one as open landing allows him to complete it and gives it some sweep. Armside fade with
CH. Everything, arm speed and delivery slow down. Slot lowers to 3/4 and he tries to turn it over.
Works from behind. Didn't have a clean inning. Slow, lulling tempo. Didn't pitch w/lead.
Overthrows, not a ton of feel. May improve some with another yr @ High A next  yr, he's a AA
org. arm for me prob. in long relief where he can get into a rythm.
