Billy O'Brien is a 2018 RHP with a 6-0 170 lb. frame from Stony Point, NY who attends Don Bosco Preparatory. Medium, athletic frame with square shoulders and a high waist, long frame with room to fill throughout moving froward. Primary righthanded pitcher, begins delivery with a simple side step, leg lift just above belt, up-tempo pace with some effort at release. Quick arm through back working to high three-quarters slot, generate extension out front and able to generate short running life to fastball. Topped out at 85 mph, creates plane when on top of the ball, comes out fine and can work to glove side. Projects with continued refinement to delivery. Shows hand speed on curveball and feel, 12-6 shape when on top, occasionally pulls front shoulder out early. Flashed a changeup at 77 mph. Very good student.
