Notes from the Field: Day Two (3.18.16)

Scouting Report: Polished lefty with a simple, repeatable delivery. Undersized and on the skinny side. Limited projection in body. Starts from the extreme third base side of the rubber. Typically uses three-quarters arm slot, but will drop to sidearm with two strikes to give hitters another look. Compact, efficient delivery with clean arm action and some deception. Good pitchability; has a plan for each batter and knows what he wants to do. Very good pick-off move that is deceptive and very subtle. Fastball works in the 84-88 mph range. Primarily cuts the pitch, but will also show arm-side run. Throws strikes and has solid command. Slider works 78-82 mph with short break, and can look like a cutter at times. Changeup works 76-80 mph, on the lower end of the velocity band when throwing over the top and the higher end when thrown sidearm. Solid differential between fastball at lower velocity band. Does not have a typical profile, but has a chance as a lefty who can pound the strike zone, has deception and can manipulate the ball, giving hitters different looks. Upper minors starting depth who can also come out of the bullpen. Nice organizational player.
