6-foot, 195-pounds, high waist with some strength throughout. Easy mover with a clean arm, playing from a high ¾ window. Fastball plays clean out of the hand at 84-88 mph, topping at 89 mph with arm-side action. Showed feel for his curveball with quality spin, sitting in the low-70s (T2426 rpm). Changeup plays with some dive to the arm-side and under the zone at times, 79-80 mph.
