5-foot-10, 205-pound, strong, thick, durable pitchers frame. The back and shoulders are wide and lower half has strength to it. A right-handed pitcher, the delivery is simple and has timing, tempo and builds speed and momentum through it. The hands start high and stay high throughout, the leg raise is smooth, gets to a good gather position, with weight staying over post leg. The separation is on time, stride is inline with good length and gets out front on release. The lower back half is used well, does a very good job using his entire body to throw the baseball. The arm works out of a natural ¾ slot, arm swing is a little longer. The fastball was clocked at 78-80 mph, throws a heavy ball, ball bores in on arm side, located it well down in the zone. The changeup was thrown with good arm speed, sold it well, had depth and downward action to it, clocked at 70-72 mph, it’s an above average pitch for his age. The breaking ball was clocked at 63-65 mph, needs to be thrown harder. Times to the plate were at 1.72, needs to be quicker, I’m sure in games it's quicker. A strike throwing machine, plays for two real good programs, CT Bombers and ND WH, logged a good amount of innings throughout the year, look for the velocity to jump after proper rest. Solid follow.
