Impressive at Hawaii Fall Showcase and dominant at West Coast Games with FB up to 89 and wipeout SL up to 2800+ spin. Nobody could touch him, induced some bad chases/hacks and left hitters shaking their heads while making a left turn back to the bench. Powerfully built with strong, durable lower half is the ideal build for a future power pitcher. Pitchability has improved and FB velocity has increased steadily over the last 18 months. He has been up to 91 and we could see 92-93 this spring. The Maryknoll ace has offers and could be off-the-board to a DI very soon.
