Physical Description:
Tall, skinny right-handed pitcher. Projectable frame, needs to add
strength.
Mechanics: 3/4
delivery. Short leg kick, long thrust to home. Falls off to
first base side slightly.
Fastball:
Fastball works 90-95 mph and sits around 93 mph. Velocity has
already increased since he joined the organization. Sat 89-91 in
2018. Fastball command is a work in progress, as is overall
contol. Potential plus fastball.
Breaking Ball:
Throws a breaking ball that looks like a curveball at present, but
also will show one that looks like a slider. If he is throwing
both will likely settle on one of them as he develops more feel
and matures. Breaking balls work 76-81 mph. On occasional will
show flashes of a good breaking ball.

Changeup:
Also throws a changeup at 87-89 mph.
Career
Notes: Signed with Boston just prior to his 17th
birthday. Participated in Fall Instructional League in 2019.
Summation:
One
to keep an eye on for the future. Has already made significant strides
since he signed, but is a projectable young arm who can already touch the
mid-90s. Wide gap between what he is now and what he could be. Has shown
the early makings of a three-pitch mix and with his frame has the
potential to develop into an interesting back end starting pitching
prospect.
Note: This page will be updated with a scouting
report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
