12/14/2019 - Florida Regional Offensive Skills and Pitching/Catching Combined Weekend (Ages 14-18)
Cyrus is a hard working and talented prospect that was eager to learn. On the bump, Cyrus gathers over the rubber, he has a loose arm action, and extends through his delivery. Finding a balance point, riding his leg toward the plate, and separating on time will improve his ability to work down hill. He needs to be more aggressive and command his fastball. His cutter has some action and he sinks his changeup. At the plate, Cyrus starts in a squared stance, he loads his hand back, and has a middle approach. He needs to continue to attack the inside part of the ball, rotate his lower half, and get his front foot down on time. Loading on time will help him see the ball deeper into contact. Cyrus will continue to improve with experience and we hope to see his progress in the future.
