Prep Baseball Report - 6/9/15 - Kent State commit. Left-handed pitcher, frame has filled out more to an average build, still has length. Delivery is athletic, slide step from the stretch, good tempo on the mound, fast pace. Arm action is clean and easy. Effortless. Fastball sat 85-87 mph entire outing, continued to hit 87 in the fifth, has arm side run and the ability to command it. Curveball is a plus potential pitch, 74-76 mph, throws with confidence and feel, ability to throw in any count. Could be a draft follow in college.
