Scouting Report

|
|

|
|
|
| |
Physical Description: Tall left-hander with a filled out, mature frame. No
remaining projection. Has filled out considerably since he signed.
Mechanics: Throws from a three quarters arm slot,
starting out on the first base side of the rubber. Starts from the stretch
and has a compact delivery. High leg kick, wrist wrap and arm hook behind.
Delivery has some deception, shows the ball late, creating the look of
higher velocity. Gets good extension.
Fastball: 86-88 mph.
Fastball is on the straight side. Lacks life, struggles to miss bats.
Below-average pitch.
Slider: 80-82 mph. Short,
horizontal break. Feel and confidence. Average pitch.
Curveball: 75-77 mph. Loopy 1-to-7 break. Doesn’t consistently
snap off. Below-average pitch.
|
|
Changeup: 74-77
mph. Pitch shows drop at its best. Thrown with deceptive arm speed and has
shown the ability to pull the string on it down and out of the zone when
ahead in the count. Potential fringe-average pitch.
Career
Notes: Signed out of Australia in 2012. Debuted in 2013,
progressed slowly through the system. Had a breakout season in 2019.
Pitched 1 1/3 innings in relief as part of a combined no-hitter
started by Kyle Hart and finished by Adam Lau on April 25, 2019.
Re-signed with the Red Sox as a minor league free agent during
the 2019-20 offseason.
Summation: Profiles as an organizational arm. Has both started
and relieved in his career.
Strong pitchability, solid
deception. Very fringy four pitch mix. Lacks bat missing
pitch for the major league level.
Able to throw all four pitches for strikes.
