Clint,
If your son is who I think he is...
The first time we saw him he was 13-14 maybe? listed as 5-7/130 and topping out at 73 mph.
No one ever sees the actual scout notes in our database but some of those on your son are very interesting and I hope you don't mind me sharing them. I didn't include the actual event or date, just the year.
2005 - Lanky body, decent CB, small soft throwing lefty, decent run on FB, strike thrower, smooth arm action. 70-73 FB. Worth following.
2006 - lean/athletic LHP-3/4/long and loose AA/clean AA/good ASR/some effort/online/balanced/solid mechanics/1-7/good run FB/downward plane/moves FB around/keeps FB down/late life FB/live arm/CH has sink and fade/good AS CH/deceptive lefty/very good game outing/84 mph lefty/interesting follow.
2006 - Very nice delivery, good deception, shows three quality pitches, good poise on mound, has a great feel, mid 80s, looks like there is more there, has a chance to be very good. Need to follow.
2007 - tall, slender, long arms, good aspd, long loose aa, brings arm way back, throws very well, med effort, excellent command, three pitch guy, good velocity with ASR, definite DI potential. 85-88 and still room to get stronger. Projects large.
2008 - Good velo, good life, downhill plane, outstanding mound presence, knows what he is doing, pretty good mechanics, would like to see more of him. He is good.
2008 - 3/4, deceptive delivery, hides ball well, good natural mvmnt, uses breaking ball as out pitches, nice CH, consistent velo around 88 and it looks easy. Probably could throw harder if needed, good command of all pitches, fairly dominant for 3 innings. Excellent DI guy. Possible draft interest.
The above reports span nearly 4 years. The notes included several other things that did not pertain to pitching. It's interesting to look at this stuff.
Clint,
Congratulations
If somehow this is not your son I apologize, but it is still interesting.
