Uber-projectable 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame with long levers and big upside. Left-hander with a clean operation and a loose arm on the backside – delivery works easily and projects for velocity gains as he matures physically. Fastball sits 72–75, T76, with natural arm-side run (1830 avg rpm). Breaking ball (57–60, 1631 avg rpm) shows soft sweep with developing shape, flashing promise when executed. Changeup (65–68, 1232 avg rpm) offers separation and projects as a usable third pitch. Presently a strike-thrower with ingredients that fit the profile of an early follow in the class – size, arm action, and operation all suggest he’ll make big jumps as the frame fills out.
