Notes from the Field (4.23.18)

Physical Description: Average frame, minimal physical projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a high three-quarters arm slot. Starts on the first base side of the rubber. Short arm action behind. Does a good job hiding the ball behind his body during his delivery. Delivery makes it tough for lefties to pick the ball up out of his hand.

Fastball: 86-88 mph. Tops out at 89 mph. Pitch shows natural cut.

Breaking Ball: 75-80 mph. Looks like a curveball at lower velocities and more like a slider when thrown harder. Unclear if two different pitches or one with a wide velocity band.

Career Notes: Went undrafted out of Western Carolina as a junior in 2017, but signed for $125,000 after a strong Cape Cod League season. Missed extended time in 2018 with an undisclosed injury.

Summation: Profiles as an organizational arm. Left-handedness gives him a chance, but will have to prove it at each level.
