Physical: Strong, projectable 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame with a starting pitcher profile on the bump. Showed increased repeatability in this look.
Pitching: RHP - Starts from the middle/right side of the rubber with a fast-paced attack, getting to a high stack position and driving with a purpose outwards towards the plate. Slight drop/drive and good rhythm throughout the delivery, got into the strike zone plenty on this date filling it up with a 79-82, T83 mph FB (ride/glove side). Mixed a good, two-plane breaking ball in the 63-66 mph range at an 11/5 tilt giving way to a tight 2300rpm slider (67-70 mph). Got outs and worked quickly making for uncomfortable at-bats.
Physical: 6’1 185lb RHP has a solid frame and uses quick movements to introduce deception and speed to his pitches.
Pitching: Starts in a squared off stance as he faces the catcher straight on. He quickly uses a drop step with his left leg to behind the windup and get to a balance point. His body stays tall throughout his movements and his arm work short and quick, pulling down into the strike zone. He flashed 4 pitches (FB,CH,CV,SL) all out of the quick and herky jerky windup.
