Dec 2020 Report
Evaluator: Joe Drake
Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Looks every bit of his 6'2", 210 pound listing. Sturdy, athletic frame. Thick, strong legs and rounded shoulders. Lean and muscled. Mostly filled out, but could add a few more pounds. Live arm. Looks like an MLB pitcher.
Delivery & Mechanics: Has a three quarters release that whips around after leg kick that comes waist-high and moderate coil. Coil and whip combo add some deception; looks like some crossfire action. Uses long legs to get down the mound for what looks like good extension, need data to confirm. Moderate effort. Multiple iterations over different looks, may have issues repeating.
Fastball: 92-94 with tail. Explodes on hitters. Power, deception, and life make it tough to square up. Grade: 60
Slider: 79-83. More sweep than depth, really comes across the zone due to angle created by wide release. Can bury armside for whiffs, ability to be his out pitch. Appeared inconsistent in limited look. Grade: 50
Changeup: Rumored 81-83, didn't see it in limited looks. Reports suggest below-average, may change with additional looks. Grade: 40
Control and Command: Walk issues in college, struggled to find zone in limited viewing. Seemed to find good spots when he was on, but missed entirely when he wasn't. Control: 40 | Command: 40
Overall: Good sized lefty with plus velo will get a chance to prove he can't start before moving to the pen. Live arm, good body, 3 pitches gives him at least a shot to be a back end guy. There's a chance it works out if org help with control and command -- first look would be his crossfire mechanics. If not, feels like a surefire low-leverage relief floor, especially with 3 pitches in the 3-batter minimum age, with upside as an AA high-leverage guy.
