Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Physical Description: Large,
filled-out frame. Long levers.
Mechanics:
Low 3/4 arm slot. Loose arm with an easy delivery. No deception.
Fastball: Mid-90s fastball. Average to
above-average control. Induces a good amount of swings and
misses.
Slider: Mid-80s slider with
solid break.
Changeup: Said to be
devoloping a changeup in the Red Sox system.

Career
Notes: Signed by the Yankess as an international free
agent at the age of 18.
Spent seven seasons in the Yankees
system, alternating between the bullpen and the rotation.
Prefers starting. Missed entire 2015 season, presumably due to
injury. Had Tommy John Surgery in July 2019. Selected by the Red
Sox in the 2019 Rule 5 Draft. Re-signed with the Red Sox
organization prior to becoming a minor league free agent in
2020. Invited to major league spring training in 2021. Opened
2021 season at the Alternate Training Site.
Summation: Profiles as high minors depth
until he
proves himself again returning from TJS. Will need to add and
refine a third pitch to be able to start at major league level. Has major league
emergency spot starter or long-man upside. Fastball-slider combo
could carry him to a bullpen role.
Note: This page will be updated with a scouting report after
the scouting team has seen the player in person.
