5-foot-11, 180-pound left-handed pitcher. The delivery was online with the feet and the slot is slightly above 3/4 in action. The arm is clean and he repeats the slot. The bottom half has to stay closed longer during the stride to foot strike. This will help extension out front as opposed to pulling off. The fastball sat at 78-79 mph with arm side action to the pitch. The slider was solid in shape, sitting 69-70 mph. The changeup was a plus pitch for him, showed fade and sink action to the arm side. The pitch sat 71-72 mph.
