Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Matt Thompson
Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Barrel chested, body on softer side. Much larger than listed 6'1", 185 pounds. Has the look of a traditional big league starter.
Delivery & Mechanics: Looks like he's playing catch. Starts at the belt and brings the hands to the chest as he starts his motion. Drives up and over the front leg. Inconsistent timing, pace, arm speed. All of these plague him in his delivery and it is a fierce battle within himself with every pitch to throw strikes.
Fastball: Big pitch. Reportedly has sat as high as 96-97, but has also been as "low" as 93-94. Has been dealing with inconsistent velocity for some time now. Could be due to multitude of factors. Arm strength for days. Grade: 55
Curveball: Two plane break, and drops off the table. Generates some ugly swings. Used mostly against right-handers and when ahead in the count. Grade: 55
Changeup: His best pitch. Equipped with desired fade and looks just like the fastball. Will throw it in any count. Will miss bats. Grade: 60
Control and Command: Easy bottom of the scale command and control. Will miss location by feet with the fastball to his arm side. Spikes curveball in the dirt, will miss up and down with changeup. Can be a helpless feeling watching someone walk more batters than innings pitched. Control: 20 | Command: 20
Overall: Will never get written off as a prospect because of how good the stuff is. Multiple red flags and issues with delivery but still has three above-average or better offerings. Really frustrating and confusing. There are a million possible outcomes here.
