The fastball plays with plenty of easy life out of the hand, sitting 88-89 mph, while being around the zone. His curveball was the most impressive offering on this day, playing sharp (avg. 2395 rpm) at 74-76 mph with an 11/5 shape for 100% strikes. To round out his potent three-pitch mix, he mixed in a 79-81 mph changeup that flashed feel for the zone with slight diving action.
