Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: James Chipman
Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 5
RuleV: On 40-man
Physical Description: Ideal frame. Big strong, sturdy frame. High waist; long levers. Broad shoulders; strong upper body; thick lower half. Physically maxed. Past injuries include: right elbow strain and minor neck issue.
Delivery & Mechanics: Full windup; above-average arm-speed; high 3/4 slot with high effort delivery. Slot generates steep downward plane; modest leg kick and hand break yield limited deception. Long levers and stride generate good extension. Loses efficiency of command when he puts too much exertion in the delivery; will occasionally fly open.
Fastball: 94-96 t98; plus velocity with below-average command. Shows hard bore and heavy sink down in the zone; predominantly straight with downward plane elsewhere. Elicits both weak contact and swing and miss. Grade: 60
Curveball: 83-85; hard power curveball with tight rotation and deep 11/5 shape at its best. Has the late break and bite necessary for it to effectively play at the big league level. Lacks consistent shape and feel; arm speed and slot will occasionally wander. Overall a potential above-average offering. Grade: 55
Control and Command: Standard power reliever, control over command profile. Spray command in and around the zone. Relies on FB velocity to overpower and bail out his lack of command. Fringe-average control and below-average command. Control: 45 | Command: 40
Overall: Window closing on past high leverage ceiling; more realistic future is a solid second division low-leverage reliever. Should miss an impressive amount of bats and provide a bridge to the late innings.
