Scouting Report:
Rail-thin righty
starter put up mediocre numbers in the DSL in 2006, but impressed in the
GCL in 2007. His delivery is a bit inconsistent as he can drop down to a
3/4 slot from time-to-time, getting under the ball. When he comes over
the top with his fastball, it has decent life and a little downward
tilt. Fastball sits around 88-90 mph, but tops out at 94 mph in shorter
stints. Also throws an over-the-top 68-72 mph curveball that is an
average pitch at best at this point. Good control and command. Needs to
put on some weight. Also needs to work on maintaining a consistent
delivery point and keeping his shoulder from flying open. Tends to leave
his fastball up in the zone too much. |
