10/05/2016 - Arizona Freshman/Sophomore Fall Classic Connor�s improvements on the diamond are striking as he has taken big steps forward on the mound. His fastball has increased in velocity and movement, now topping out at 81 mph with good cutting action and his curveball has hard, late break with 11-5 shape and has the potential to be an out pitch for him. He uses his frame well to create a good angle to deliver the ball to the plate and gets quick arm whip from his live arm. In the outfield, he shows good athleticism and takes efficient angles to the ball to cover a lot of ground out there. His hands are soft and presented to field, making sure the ball stays in front. Working behind and through the ball will add carry to throws and make runners think twice before advancing. At the dish, his hands stay behind the ball, working on a level path through the zone. He gets good extension through contact to drive the ball and finishes high with his head over the zone. Connor has all the tools and vast potential that give him a bright future in the game.
