Physical: 6-foot-2, 165 pounds; tall, lanky, athletic.
Pitching: Sets up on the first base side of the rubber and uses a small side step to get into his motion. Comes set high at the ears and breaks at his belt, he strides at home plate and finishes with a flat back. Quick, medium arm swing with a high 3/4 arm slot. FB: T 86MPH, 81-86 MPH. Late arm side run. CB: 73-74 MPH. Thrown for strikes with 2-8 movement. SL: 78 MPH. CH: MPH. Holds its plane.
Physical: Long, lean and athletic build at 6-foot-2 165 pounds; long levers with room for additional physical gains.
Pitching: Center rubber setup with a short drop step up to a chest high leg drive with a tuck of the front shoulder. Closes off slightly creating some cross fire to his delivery. Arm action is long and works through a high 3/4 slot. Works over front side well, finishing square to the plate. Plenty of arm side life to his FB at 80-81 MPH. Is able to land his CB for strikes at 68-70 and showed fade to his change up at 74-75 MPH. Solid 3-pitch mix.
