Physical Description: Loose,
athletic right-hander with room to add strength. Has already
grown since signing and should continue to grow.
Mechanics: Very loose delivery with an easy arm action.
Fastball: 89-91 mph. Tops out in the
low-90s. Needs to add velocity. Advanced control for someone his
age, but command needs work.
Curveball:
77-79 mph. Good feel for the pitch and ability to spin it. Gets
over the ball and can snap it off. Has shown the ability to
throw pitch for strikes.
Changeup: 83-86
mph. On the firmer side, but has shown advanced ability to
command the pitch for his age.
Slider: Reportedly also has a slider for which he
has shown some feel. |
|
Career Notes: Signed with the
Royals for $147,500 when he turned 16 on July 6, 2018. Primarily
played shortstop growing up, but converted to pitching shortly
before signing. Was acquired as a player-to-be-named-later in
the Andrew Benintendi trade. 2021 numbers are skewed heavily by
a single, terrible outing (0.2 IP, 6 ER), as well as about a
month missed at least in part due to rainouts on his scheduled
starts.
Summation: Intriguing arm with
advanced feel for pitching for his age. Present stuff is on the
pedestrian side. Is athletic with a fresh arm and has physical
projection. Already shows a four-pitch mix with solid feel for
his secondaries. Needs to add velocity, but has the athleticism
teams look for in a pitcher.
Note: This page will be updated with a scouting
report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
