6/15/16
6-foot, 170-pound thinner, athletic body frame, with room to fill. On the mound he uses regular effort to his delivery. Has a slight shoulder tilt to gain leverage on his pitches. He has a high leg kick, landing slightly more closed at foot strike, and finishes with his momentum carrying toward home plate. Throws with a long arm, and some quickness to his arm speed, coming from a ¾ slot. His fastball flahses good cutting action, thrown between 75-78 mph. The curveball flashed signs of being sharp, but had mostly gradual break with 11/5 tilt at 68-70 mph. He has good deception with his changeup because he doesn’t slow his body down, and he uses fastball arm speed, he also spots the pitch well and down in the zone at 72-73 mph.
