Scouting Report Update (3.31.20)
Signed
with NY Mets (Dec. 2020) |
Physical
Description: Tall, lanky left-hander with no remaining
projection. Thin side, but looks proportional.
Mechanics:
Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Utilizes a medium leg kick and long
arm action with significant effort. Lots of moving parts, which gives
hitters an uncomfortable look.
Fastball: 91-94
mph. Pitch shows cut at lower velocities. Average life. Command suffers
due to moving parts in delivery. Difficult to square up in the air when he
keeps the ball down. Sat at higher velocities earlier in his professional
career.
Slider: 84-86 mph. Sharp, horizontal break
at its best. Very tough pitch against left-handed hitters, starting by
coming at them before sweeping across the zone.
Career
Notes: Signed with the Red Sox late in 2019 after being
released by the Phillies and was stashed in Lowell for the rest of the
season. After being drafted by the Dodgers, was traded with Zach Eflin to
the Phillies in 2014 for Jimmy Rollins.
Summation:
Solid organizational relief arm. Type of pitcher every organization needs
in the high minors to pitch in middle relief. Lacks the command and
control profile or carrying secondary pitch to consistently get major
league hitters out. |
