Apr 2021 Report
Evaluator: Joe Heintskill
Age: 27 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 246 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible
Physical Description: Average height with a strong lower half. Long limbs with a high waist and broad shoulders. At 26 there's no physical projection remaining. Had right shoulder surgery in 2020 offseason.
Delivery & Mechanics: Stretch only; tall and fall. Hands high; high leg kick and long arm path that wraps behind his back. 3/4 arm slot with a quick arm and good extension. High effort in the delivery; inconsistent follow through; will sometimes overthrow causing him to fall off aggressively to the first-base side.
Fastball: Elite velocity; sits 97-100 t102; runs to arm-side especially in the bottom of the strike zone. Lacks ability to locate the pitch consistently causing it to be less effective than velocity/movement profile would suggest. Grade: 70
Slider: Sits 87-89 and offers a nice velocity separation off his fastball. Short, tight vertical break; inconsistent shape, at times losing bite. Has confidence in the pitch and is willing to throw it in most situations. Grade: 60
Changeup: Very firm; regularly 94-95. Lacks conviction with pitch; arm speed noticeably slows; movement profile is more lateral; pitch lacks tumble. Grade: 30
Control and Command: Well below-average control and command. Struggles to locate both fastball and slider let alone throw quality strikes. Lack of control adds additional risk and limits overall value of the profile. Control: 30 | Command: 30
Overall: Classic power reliever with a strong two-pitch combo. Given his age and build, there's no additional projection. Present stuff is more than good enough to get hitters out at the big league level. Fastball and slider quality would indicate a high-leverage relief role but lack of control adds risk and limits ultimate ceiling.
