Sturdy 6-foot-2, 205-pound right-hander with a funky low slot that creates deception. Fastball sat 83-84 mph (T84) with an average spin of 2189 rpm (T2324), playing up due to the angle and funk in the delivery. Mixed two distinct breaking balls — a 69-70 mph curveball (2322 avg rpm, T2378) with depth, and a 74-76 mph slider (2167 avg rpm, T2282) with shorter action. Also showed a 75-77 mph changeup (1662 avg rpm, T1764) with killed spin and fading action. Unconventional look with four-pitch feel, likely fitting best in a reliever profile where the deception and mix of shapes can keep hitters uncomfortable.
