May 2021 Report

Height: 6-5
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 5
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Large, athletic frame that's nearly maxed out. Well-developed lower half; muscle on the upper body; broad shoulders. Live arm.
Delivery & Mechanics: Stretch-only; explosive, high-effort drop and drive delivery with 3/4s arm slot. Long arm stroke; fast arm; average stride and extension. Motion is a little abrupt, but appears to repeat fairly well.
Fastball: 93-95, t99. Average ride with some run, fairly generic shape but jumps out of the hand a little. Locates up in the zone where it plays best and sets up the curve. Command is not a strong point. Will need to locate on the edges to beat major league hitters. Grade: 60
Curveball: 80-82; power curve with good depth and sweep, 11-5 shape. Hard, hard bite when it's on, diving from high armside corner of the zone to the low gloveside corner. Pairs very well with four seam; solid tunneling action. Command appears touch and go, often yanking it gloveside, but doesn't need to be too fine to get chases due to big time movement. Grade: 60
Control and Command: Okay strike thrower; fires at the zone and lets the stuff play. Lose his release and struggles to get it back leading to walks and deep counts. Aggressive and borderline wild at times, but has shown improvement. Control: 40 | Command: 30
Overall: Relief-only profile with a big arm that can spin it. Fastball/curveball pairing is lethal as long as he can find the zone. Command will be the deciding factor as to whether he can compete for an high-leverage role, low-leverage or is an up and down arm.
