Physical- Lean, athletic 5-foot-9, 163lbs frame. 7.17 runner in the 60.
Offensively- Starts in a crouched, open stance with bend in the knees. Hands start in front of his body just above shoulder level. Hands work back on load along with a small leg lift/stride. Hands get on plane early and the bat path is flat to contact, working slightly uphill on finish. Max exit velo of 84 MPH.
Defensively- Uses a slight pre-pitch prep hop for timing. Consistent footwork on approach, fielding the ball in the middle of his body and funneling directly to the stomach. Plays on time and shuffles before release. Uses a moderate arm swing with a ¾ arm slot, 82 MPH arm strength from the IF.
Pitching- Starts on the first base side of the rubber, uses a small side step before getting into a simple, uptempo delivery. Hands come set at his chest and break at his waist. Dips and drives off his back leg and throws into a firm front side. Maintains balance well throughout the delivery, helping create consistency in his delivery and helping him maintain a consistent release point. Full arm circle without restrictions to a high ¾ arm slot.
FB: 80-81, T82; heavy arm side run with command.
SL: 71-72; short, tight break
CH: 72-74; late fade
