Positional Profile: RHP/OF
Body: 6-1, 165-pounds. Longer frame, long limbs. Plenty of room for added physical development.
Delivery: Works exclusively from the stretch. Simple, repeatable mechanics.
Arm Action: RH. True 3/4 slot with deception.
FB: T81, 79-81 mph. Hard sinking action. Misses barrels and induces weak ground balls. T2476, 2404 average rpm.
SL: 73-74 mph. Sweeping action with quality horizontal shape. T2543, 2429 average rpm.
CH: 79-80 mph. Plays well off of the fastball, deceptive out of the hand. T2358, 2349 average rpm.
CUT: 74-77 mph. Short, late darting action. Firmer and better change of pace working off SNK/SL mix.
