Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Trevor Hooth
Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-8
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Tall, lanky build, extremely long levers. Might be slightly taller and bigger than listed.
Delivery & Mechanics: Deliberate movements through the balance point before exploding for a high effort through the rest of the delivery. Throws from a 3/4 arm slot. Doesn't always have control of his long limbs which causes inconsistencies in delivery. Lands closed. Arm speed can be inconsistent at times, especially when throwing offspeed. Long levers and arm slot create a difficult plane, especially for lefties.
Fastball: Generates double plus velocity. Sat 95-97 T98 as a starter in college. Report have had the pitch in triple digits T105 according to a pre-draft video. There isn't much movement through the zone, some armside run at times. Grade: 55
Slider: 80-82. Gets good late bite. More horizontal movement than depth, potentially limiting it's ceiling for whiffs. Sits slightly fringe average, but can flash average when it hits the higher end of it's velo. Could play off fastball better with more consistent arm speed. Professional development might help the pitch to become a truly above average offering. Grade: 45
Control and Command: Showed improved control in the shortened 2020 season. Long levers make repeating mechanics hard, which puts a strain on command. Control: 40 | Command: 40
Overall: A tall, lanky fireballer. He generates big velo, but struggles to repeat mechanics. Best chance to make big league impact is in the bullpen. Control improvements in 2020 were promising. Data is not kind to him, but there's a chance at a plus fastball and fringe above average slider from the left side. Drafted as a project, inherent high risk in his profile.
