07/14/2014 - National Tryout - Carrollton (DFW), TX Rick continues to work hard on the diamond. On the bump, this LHP has 3 effective pitches coming from a deceptive delivery. He throws strike with all 3 pitches and works through quick tempo. Slider is best off-speed pitch as it has 2/8 shape and late break. He commands the zone and paints the corners. At 1B, Rick fields with soft hands. He has the ability to go get and pick balls out of the dirt. With the bat, he lets the ball travel into the zone and connects with pop. He gets extension through the zone and drives the ball. Only a 2017 grad - the future looks bright for this young star.
