Angle of the forearm relative to the ground between maximum external rotation (MER) and ball release (BR). Which can be a powerful player comparison metric, delivered in degrees.
Knee Extension Velo

Physical: Highly-projectable 6-foot-3, 170lb frame with upside athleticism; mound presence.
Pitching: RHP. Starts off the middle-left side of the rubber; momentum-gaining pace, finding a balanced stack before accelerating down the mound with easy extension. A power H ¾ slot worked to both sides at 87-91 mph (ASR), blocking the front-side off properly. Added big shape on a mid-70’s two-plane curveball with tight action and mixed a more lateral 76-78 mph SL across the zone for strikes. Trending towards top 10 in the class.
