Nov 2020 Report
Evaluator: Trevor Hooth
Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 IFA
RuleV: 2021
Physical Description: Thick lower half. Filled out frame well prior to the 2019 season, looks bigger than his listed weight. Long limbs. Not much projection remaining on the frame.
Delivery & Mechanics: Simple motions leading to and over hand delivery. Low effort delivery with easy mechanics. Quick arm. Short strider, legs could be more involved. The movements are repeatable. Command issues stemming from inconsistent release point.
Fastball: 92-96 T99. Works to both sides of the plate. Can create whiffs, but mostly creates ground balls. Utilizes a sinker heavy approach. Grade: 50
Slider: Good depth. Plays above average right now. Can get slurvy at times. Not afraid to put it on the backfoot of a LHH. Plays off of sinker as primary secondary offering. Will garner plenty of whiffs. Grade: 55
Changeup: Uses it as a strikeout pitch against RHH. Gets nice fade. Very deceptive off the hard sinker. Can create whiffs. Can play average when working with the rest of the arsenal. Clear third pitch. Grade: 45
Control and Command: Walks a lot of batters. Misses low and in the dirt quite a bit. Tries and struggles to place sinkers on the corner. Seems to lose focus for a stretch of batters, which takes a toll on control. Control: 45 | Command: 40
Overall: The walk numbers in a short stint of 2019 don't reflect well on his ability to locate. He's not wild, but tends to bury pitches and miss when trying to clip corners. It was rare to see a pitch get away from him. Sinker heavy approach results in a lot of groundballs. Creates whiffs with a slider and changeup. Despite the velocity his best chance to make an impact is in a rotation with three potential average or better pitches.
