Lorenzo Douglas is a 2005 pitcher from Sachse, TX. He has a slender 6'0" frame with square shoulders and very long arms for his size. He has a high leg kick in his delivery, and an even higher front side coming through with his arm, but Douglas is well coordinated and his arm comes through quick and smooth with very good extension out front. We’ve seen Douglas at 90-91 mph in the past, and he didn’t quite get there from the mound (although he did throw 91 from the outfield in drills), pitching consistently at 88 mph and touching 89. Douglas gets good tailing action on his fastball and uses it aggressively early in counts. Douglas’ 71 mph curveball has fair spin and bite and he flashed a decent change up, but Douglas looked to be primarily a fastball pitcher. Douglas had a very good showcase as a position player, and surprised us with his athleticism. In addition to his above average big league arm strength from the outfield, Douglas showed very good range and instincts defensively and he can run. He also gets the same type of extension on his swing that he gets throwing the ball and showed nice power and bat speed.

Douglas is an "05" OF/RHP from Sachse, TX. At 6'0/155 he has a lean athletic body with long limbs. He's going to get bigger and stronger. He shows a strong arm from both the OF and the mound. Excellent loose fast arm action. He has good hands and nice fluid actions. He should end up being an Average MLB runner. At the plate he hits out of a closed stance with a short stride, a good balanced line drive approach and he creates bat speed. He looked good on the mound with solid mechanics and quick arm out of a hi 3/4 angle. His fastball was mid 80s and there's a lot more in him. The breaking ball also showed promise in the low 70s, but he'll need to tighten it up a bit. He really uses his body well and that body is going to get much stronger.
