Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Drake
Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2021
Physical Description: Average frame, solid and athletic. Body is mostly mature. Good movements. Live arm. Average righty.
Mechanics: Moderate effort, high 3/4 to overhand slot. Moves quickly through delivery with pointed movements; Hard leg kick to letters with hands in front of the body at shoulder height. Very similar from the stretch, but more coil. Attacks the hitter as he comes down the mound, but finishes low and balanced.
Fastball: 94-96; Good zip, works high in the zone with it. Straight, but likely some ride here given the arm slot and whiffs at the top of the zone. Around the zone, but lacks command of it and will leave it over the heart or miss in a noncompetitive spot. Grade: 55
Slider: 83-88; Gets both sweep and depth. Manipulates it like 2 different pitches. One is hard and tight like a cutter, the other comes in low 80s but gets much more depth. Falls off the table. Throws the tight version for strikes and buries the bender -- enough difference that you could call it a hard curve. Potential plus pitch. Possible that he tips it, batters don't chase like you would expect Grade: 55
Control and Command: Typical hard thrower who doesn't know where it's going. Misses in bunches and has a tendency to leave it down broadway. Not going to get away with it against MLB hitters. Control: 40 | Command: 30
Overall: Average size righty with big stuff, but has ticked down since draft day. Has little command and in concert with the reduced velo, wonder if something is off in mechanics or he has a nagging injury. Current iteration is a low-leverage reliever. If he gets back into the upper 90s with at least a semblance of command, could be a high-leverage arm.
OFP: 35
Role: 30 - Up/Down Emergency Depth
Risk: High
