On the mound, right-handed, drop-and-drive type, works on line with some rhythm and effort, toe-closed landing, falls forward. Arm works from a short ¾ slot, slight deception in delivery, can hide the ball. Fastball, works as a sinker, 72-74 mph. Curveball, 10/4 shape, breaks early, thrown near-fastball arm speed, 63-65 mph. Changeup, decelerates arm speed, some fade, 65-67 mph. A right-handed hitter, balanced setup, wide base, smooth load back, drops hands, bat gets vertical, short leg lift stride. Long, uphill bat path, line drive contact, 72 mph exit velocity from the tee. Defensively, footwork is quick but unorthodox, long arm action from ¾ slot, 72 mph throws to first. 7.82 runner in the 60.
