I watch these vids all day long. This guys has damn good control of his arsenal, that definitely got him signed. His spin/rotation rates are completely ridiculous. As a Triple A outfielder from back in the late 80's, I can tell you from experience that this guy will give you nightmares as a hitter! Good luck to him.
This dude has a curveball from HELL. The one he threw at 3:26 looks like ut had armside break; like a screwball. Circle this dudes name for the years to come.
I love what I’m seeing from this guy. His slider and curve have a lot of movement. One thing though I would like to see him put on a little more muscle and get his velo on his fastball get to 97-100 range. This guy is going to be fun to watch in the bigs in 4 or 5 years.
Kid's got 98/99 possibilities, great movement on fastball with potential for even more. Needs to hit the weight room and track to improve BMI. Assuming his command/location keeps improving, he will be in the majors.
I wish you would show the pitch from the camera behind the catcher more. Gives us an angle to see the shape of the pitch from the batter's perspective.
Anyone that has played baseball knows how nasty it is to be in the box against a 96mph heater than an insane looping curveball at 80mph. Whiiiiifffff goes the bat and the head flies around to your back. It is truly embarrassing.
Scouts loves pitchers that trow over the shoulder, cause balls looks way too fast and centered from the batter’s perspective even when you want them to land low, which is the idea. Curves and sliders look too nasty, cause the drop is huge. Key is to almost never trow center, Low or high. For the left batter I used to trow an opposite slider that went from up top and ended up low outside. They almost always stepped back thinking it was going to land close to them, their reaction was priceless. They all want to hit the ball, well don’t trow in the center😅. I miss baseball.
@@jeremyharris5176 For sure man. That's my point. This dude could throw 95, but their pitching staff knew his role was the curveball guy and he executed, and now he's a national champion.
These coaches with all the advanced technology and high fees, meanwhile some kid in Venezuela or Dominican Republic pitching in some dirt field into the side of an old wood shack. If you got it, you got and no amount of pretty bs going to change that.
@treadathletics What do you think about a breaking ball that is -8” to -12”vb and anywhere from -1” to +2” hb thrown at 80-82 mph. What would you classify this as?
@@treadathletics I can throw it harder around the 83-84 range but the efficiency takes a hit putting into deathball territory but when it is slower around 80 the efficiency is around 90% and the shape doesn’t change but gets much larger
This guy is a project. Yes the velo is nice and the curveball has some sick movement, but it's no good if he can't control it. There's a reason he wasn't drafted last year. As a junior last year he put up a 9.18 ERA while walking a batter an inning. His WHIP was just shy of 2.00. Even the year before when his ERA was 3.62 and his WHIP was a much more reasonable (but still far from great) 1.36 his BB/9 was still 5.6. The fact that he's signing as an UDFA rather than returning for his final year of eligibility is ridiculous.
I'm guessing that he's thinking his arm clock is ticking, even though he won't ever say that. When I was in the minors back in the late 80's our pitcher's would always make references to making 'where they would play' decisions based on how much gas they felt they had left in their arms. This guy obviously has some tools, perhaps he just needs the right pitching coach/staff. Would definitely be an interesting 'project' to watch and see how he develops at the pro level.

He will be out with Tommy John before he even steps foot on an MLB mound. I miss the old days the days of the 4 horsemen, Buehrle, Contreras, Garcia, and Garland! Not one of them threw over 95 and they threw 4 complete games in a row to secure a pennant.
Another right handed pitcher throwing hard. I love watching a lefty with nasty hook and a decent fastball. These guys are a dime a dozen. Nice pitching. But, he does the same as all right handed pitchers

Coach to the Catcher: “Soo…how’d you lose your testicals?”
This guy’s CB: “That’d be my fault sir.”
Let’s go boys! nasty movement all around

While that would be ideal, just a mid 90’s with that curve and slider will give him a pretty good arsenal
My god that curveball
I was like uuuhhh🤢
Filthy
The level of coaching has progressed so much that I have no idea what this coach is saying sometimes.
Track man lingo
Plus, you have to remember that he's already coached this guy some so they have a report and short-hand between them.
The puking noice🤮…..zip it?

That “Off With Their Heads” song from the Kill Bill movie really making this kid assassinate the strike zone.
My favorite trait is that he doesn't miss over the plate. As a hitter, you'll get free strikes once or twice a game.
12-6 is crazy... Slider is hard from that slot. He's got it for sure.
Gotta start somewhere. Double A leggo.
With batters getting used to the faster pitches, a good change up is going to be the weapon of choice.
The days of Greg maddux and Tom Gavin throwing 92 on the corner are over. You have to be 95+ now it's crazy
I wish you would show the pitch from the camera behind the catcher more. Gives us an angle to see the shape of the pitch from the batter's perspective.
Check out the verts we make from these vids. They show both angles:

More than a 15 mph difference between his fastball and his breaking and off-speed pitches? That's a good start.
Well at least they are signing someone.
Damn nice stuff.
Nice float on that heater

Where in the hell was this when he was at LSU
yo can you make a short vid of his curveball grip

Most take pitches and HBPs
Mechanically, he looks like he finishing a bit "straight up." Could getting his body lower during release and/or follow through improve his velocity??

THAT'S AN LSU BOY!!!! THAT'S A NATIONAL CHAMPION!!!!!
This boy could throw 95 and LSU had him throw like 95% curveballs.
They seemed to use their pitchers pretty good based on the results of their season 😂.

Will someone please teach these catchers how to frame a pitch. Waisted pitches and and pulling inside pitches away from the plate. Even in the major’s
I want a job there as a catcher

Depends on the efficiency, but it'd roughly be considered either a 12/6 curveball or a deathball slider if it's fairly inefficient

WTH? I had to watch that curveball at around the @3:20 mark five times. Was that even a curveball?
what's his name
A fait worse than death. Signing with the White Sox
oh man, yeah so bad being signed by a MLB team

thats gotta be one of the easiest 95's ive seen
Let me know when he wins a game in the American League…
when he threw those curveballs i literally got sick to my stomach those were gross
I can see his curve coming, still not gonna hit it
eitha him or trevor bauer

Well too bad its 20 years later now and the average fastball is 95 so pitchers can't just lob in 91 and expect to be Cy Young worthy
wait I thought LSU had an elite pitching lab.
Oh I guess they just buy transfers from other programs including this kid from Arizona.
Looks like LSU must of spanked your school.
@@jeremyharris5176 maybe respond to the comment. Was the LSU pitching lab hype misguided if this kid is training at Tread?
@@losthighway4840 so the only place he can train is LSU?
@@pauliew10 wouldnt you if it was the best place to train? I guess that wasn't true.
He didn't throw one strike...
95mph on the corner...followed by 2 12/6 curves(?) for strikes. Sit down son.

I'm getting sick watching that curve. If he perfects that the batters won't be able to hold their snacks.
