6-foot-4, 200- pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 88-89 mph with downhill action to it. The spin pitch sat in the mid 70's as the shape can be tightened up in the coming years. Showed a changeup in the low 80's, a bit too hard. The changeup is a pitch in progression. The delivery is repeated and the arm works freely. The leverage is solid and his best days are in front of him.
