05/24/2015 - College PREP - Wappinger Falls, NY James is a tall, strong RHP that will graduate in 2016 with a promising future on the mound. Delivery is repeatable as he uses his lower half well, allowing his arm action to work long and free to the plate through a 3/4 arm slot. Arm strength his solid as indicated by his top velocity of 83 mph. Fastball shows a range of 78-81 mph. Breaking ball displays 3/9 shape with sweeping action and across break. He maintains arm speed on his changeup, but is too close to fastball velocity and needs to develop more movement on pitch. Control is solid as he throws strikes with all his pitches and locates to both sides of the plate. Stock on the mound will continue to rise as he builds more arm strength through a long toss program and develop better off speed stuff. James has a lot of potential and will catch the eyes of the collegiate coaches with his abilities on the mound.
