01/29/2017 - College PREP - Myrtle Beach, SC Austin is a tall, lean RHP and has a promising future on the mound. Delivery is sound / repeatable allowing his arm action to work free to the plate. He shows good tempo through a strong balance point. Fastball showed a range of 72-77 mph with arm side run. Breaking ball displays 10/4 shape with gradual break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup with arm side run with sinking action. Off speed stuff have potential to be quality pitches. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program. At the plate, he shows a squared setup with balance. Hands are quick (83 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. He has strength / leverage in his swing with the baseball exploding off the bat when centered. With 2 years to further develop, Austin has an upside on the bump with time and room to progress his game.
