Projectable 6-foot-3, 165-pound frame with long levers and plenty of room to add strength. Right-handed arm with clean movement patterns and a fluid operation that points to more velocity in the tank. Fastball currently works 74–77, T78, with carry (2155 max spin) and projects to tick up as the frame matures. Shows feel for a developing curveball at 64–66 (2184 max spin) with early shape that should sharpen with added strength and refinement. Athletic mover for his size, repeating the delivery well and showing a starter’s foundation. Long-term upside arm who should see steady jumps as physicality comes – a name to follow as the velo climbs.
