Scouting Report
& Links |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| |
Physical Description: Tall,
sturdy frame. Minimal remaining projection.
Mechanics: Throws from a high-three-quarters arm slot.
Delivery is on the stiff side and lacks fluidity. Arm gets out
of sync with his delivery and he does not effectively utilize
his hips and lower body.
Fastball: 93-96
mph. Tops out at 97 mph. Fastball command is below-average and
needs refinement. Pitch lacks movement and does not miss as many
bats as you would expect given his velocity. Will also show a
sinker. Potential plus-to-better offering with refined command.
Slider: 84-88 mph. Pitch will show hard,
late break at its best. Struggles to consistently locate the
pitch and get on top of it due to his delivery. Potential
average offering.
Changeup: 88-90 mph.
On the firm side and lacks separation from his fastball. On
occasion, will show good fade. Flashes average potential.
Split-Finger Fastball: Reportedly started
throwing at the 2020 Fall Instructional League. |
|
Career Notes: Grew up in the
Ft. Myers area. Acquired by the
Red Sox from the Mets as a part of the three-team Andrew
Benintendi trade in February 2021. Mets acquired him from the
Blue Jays in January 2021 as part of a trade for Steven Matz.
Originally drafted out of Estero HS (Ohio) in 2016 and signed
away from a commitment to Florida Southwestern State. Spent
three seasons in short-season and another in Class A, while
still being relatively young for his level, as he climbed the
ladder. Missed time in 2019 with a finger injury that lingered
and impacted his stuff throughout the year. Was left unprotected
and went unselected in the 2020 Rule 5 Draft.
Summation: Intriguing arm who needs to work on his
arsenal and command. Has the velocity you look for, but still
learning how to pitch and harness his stuff. Secondary pitches
lag behind and need significant refinement. Slider shows the
most potential right now. Fastball/slider combination could
profile well in a bullpen role. Needs to refine his arsenal and
find a consistent secondary to have a chance to remain in the
starting rotation.
Note: This page will be updated with a
complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the
player in person.
