5-foot-8, 148-pound, thin, smaller athletic frame. The shoulders are sloped, has plenty of room to fill out. A quick twitch athlete, has a great bounce to him, one of the better arms that was at this event. A right-handed pitcher, attacks and competes at a very high level. The delivery is simple, has tempo and timing to it. The arm works out of a natural ¾ slot. The arm action is short, clean and is very quick, ball jumps out of the hand. The fastball was clocked 83-85 mph, has much more in the tank. Pitches extremely well to the arm side, hitters had a tough time squaring him up. The breaking ball was 71-72 mph, has some slurve break to it, was thrown for a strike and as a putaway pitch. The changeup is still a work in progress, probably hasn't had to use it much, first two pitches are advanced. Times to the plate are quick, works very fast in between pitches. Enjoyed watching him in the past couple of events, big time future.

5-foot-8, 145-pound, small athletic frame, neck is long, shoulders square. A right-handed pitcher, with a real good arm. The delivery simple, repeats it with ease, stride is in line and has length to it. The arm action is short and quick on the backside, fastball was clocked at 82-85 mph, with more a 85’s. The fastball was pounded down in the zone, it's heavy and gets on the hitter quickly, ball jumps out of his hand. The breaking ball has slurve break, thrown hard at 73 mph and is an above average putaway pitch. In his two innings of work, went through it pretty easily, nobody could sqaure him. Attacked, was very aggressive and went after hitters. Projects for me as more of a backend bullpen guy, would need to develop the change to help in being a starter. Big follow, get out and see him.
