Scouting Report

|

Physical Description: Tall,
athletic frame. Some remaining projection. Long limbs. Looks to
have added 10-15 pounds of muscle during the 2022-23 offseason.
Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm
slot, starting on the third base side of the rubber. Throws
exclusively from the stretch. Free and easy delivery. Short
stride and arm action. Hides the ball well behind. Delivery
works. Controlled and repeats delivery well.
Fastball: 92-94 mph. Tops out at 96 mph. Showed
increased velocity in spring training 2023; previously sat 88-92
mph, topping out at 94 mph. Pitch shows natural sink and has a
good spin rate. Has life up in the zone; hitters pick up the
ball late. Has the delivery and athleticism that lend to a solid
command and control profile in the future, and has improved in
that area over time having once graded out as below-average.
Potential above-average command and control profile. Potential
above-average offering.
Changeup: 83-86
mph. Pitch shows fade down and away from right-handed hitters.
Throws with deceptive arm speed and does a good job of not
telegraphing the pitch. Pitch improved in college and took a
massive jump forward in 2022. Developed into his go-to out pitch
and showed bat-missing ability. Has the ability to throw it in
the zone or start it at the bottom and land it down and out of
the zone when looking to induce swinging strikes. Velocity
increased from 78-81 mph at the same time his fastball velocity
jumped in 2023. Potential plus offering.
Curveball: 75-78 mph. Power breaking ball with a plus
spin rate. Pitch has 1-to-7 break and will flash depth and tight
rotation when he finishes it. Solid feel. Will start at-bats
with it or use it to put hitters away. Throws to hitters on both
sides. Does a good job utilizing the pitch in conjunction with
the rest of his arsenal, which allows it to play up. Potential
average offering. |
|
Cutter:
86-90 mph. Short, horizontal
break with bite. Able to get in on the hands of right-handed
hitters and likes to go to it early in the count. Already shows
advanced feel for the pitch after adding it during the 2022-23
offseason. Potential average offering.
Career
Notes: Father, Bill, was a pitcher in the Royals
organization from 1987 to 1990. Was selected in the 23rd round
of the 2017 draft by the Phillies. Successful quarterback in
high school and did not commit fully to baseball until he was in
college. First professional experience came in the 2020 Fall
Instructional League. Participated in the Fall Performance
Program in 2021. Was among the top 20 minor league leaders in
strikeouts in 2022. Was set to participate in the 2022 Fall
Performance Program that was canceled due to Hurricane Ian. Was
among the most impressive pitchers in minor league camp in 2023
after his stuff took a big step forward over the offseason,
showing increased velocity and a new cutter.
Summation: Potential back-end starter. Ceiling of a
mid-rotation starter. Even that projection might be light as
there is a chance he takes another step forward with his stuff
in the future. Already took a massive step forward during the
2022-23 offseason adding a cutter and increasing his velocity by
a full grade. Now profiles as an athletic left-hander who will
show four average-or-better pitches and a solid command and
control profile. Strong pitchability and pitch utility. Can show
hitters four unique pitches in distinct velocity bands that move
in different directions. Changeup is a major league-quality out
pitch and gives him a weapon against right-handed hitters.
Cutter and curveball both are effective also and will flash
bat-missing ability. Fastball is very effective at generating
weak contact.
