11/16/2008 - College PREP - Shreveport, LA Zach is a young, 2011 graduate that shows as a RHP with a lot of potential. His body is tall, solid and does show future projection as it continues to physically mature. Arm strength is near above average and would benefit by getting on a strict long toss program to aid in developing more arm strength and raise velocities. Fastball has solid glove side run. Breaking ball is solid average displaying an 11/5 shape, tight spin, and late bite. It shows flashes of being a quality pitch at the next level. Changeup is slightly average showing a feel for with late action. He does need some polish on his delivery and mechanics which should aid in improving control. Zach has a big upside on the mound and if arm strength continues to rise, he will get a lot of looks from the college coaches.
