Side armed righty with solid breaking ball. Big kid with long arms and legs that help with  
deception. Funky deliv. Hip tuck and flappy front arm. Moves around a lot over rubber but
manages to repeat it well. Lots of moving parts. Wraps in back with arm. Hooks wrist up in air
with fingers underneath ball. Mediocre FB plays a tick better than velo readings, sits @ 85. Solid
sink and heaviness to it. Gets hit w/FB, middle of plate. Slurvy breaking ball is near frisbee
quality but finds some inconsis. to it. Misses bats if he throws quality one. Sits @ 76. Gd
armspd on firm CH. Would like more of a diff. btwn FB and CH. Strikethrower with all pitches
needs to improve command with everything. Not enuf K's for a sideslinger. AA org arm who
should prob. spend next yr @ High A level.
