Notes from the Field (4.17.18)
Released (Nov. 2019) |
Physical
Description: Under-sized lefty with a filled-out frame and sturdy
lower half. No physical projection. Looks heavier than listed weight.
Mechanics: Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot
with a high leg kick. Delivery has effort, including a long, slow stab
behind. Mechanics seem to throw off hitters, allowing stuff to get outs
even though velocity is below-average.
Fastball:
86-88 mph. Has to keep the ball down and command the offering in the zone
due to lack of velocity. Pitch will show some sink.
Curveball: 72-74 mph. Long, slurvy breaking ball. Doesn’t
consistently get over the pitch.
Changeup: 80-81
mph. Inconsistent pitch. Shows drop at times, but feel comes and goes.
Career Notes: Signed by Boston in July 2014, spent
four seasons in the complex leagues. Played in the Venezuelan Development
Program in the 2015-2017 off-seasons. Struggled with Lowell in 2017.
Summation: Projects as a low minors depth arm unless
his stuff takes a step forward. Lack of present stuff and minimal
projection in frame limit upside. |
