A very lean and projectable 6-foot-2, 155-pound frame with long legs. On the mound, the right-hander works from a slightly up-tempo delivery with a moderate leg kick before sinking into his backside and striding to the dish before pitching over hit front side and finishing to the dish. Arm action is moderate, quick, and fluid in the back before coming through a high-¾ slot. Fastball keeps its plain at 74-78 mph, mostly stikes late. Changeup sits 69-70 mph with some fade. In the game, after getting into rhythm, O’Brien punched out three of the last four batters he faced.
The primary right-handed pitcher featured a long and lean 6-foot-2, 155-pound frame with projectability. The right-handed hitter begins with an even stance and a high elbow utilizing a lift-and-replace stride to initiate his swing. Generated a flat barrel path through the hitting zone yielding a line-drive approach during batting practice. Demonstrated feel for his hands and the barrel while registering an 81 mph bat-exit velocity from the tee. Recorded a 7.65 60-yard dash. Showcased average footwork during defensive evaluations with soft hands while notching 70 mph throws across the infield out of a high ¾ arm-slot with a hitch in the back.
