Comments
5/3/16- 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-handed pitcher. Durable frame with stronger lower half. Controlled delivery, good direction to plate, clean arm action, and upright finish. Fastball flashed running action at 80-82 mph. Solid breaking ball with 11/7 shape and sharp break with depth. Late run and sink on changeup.
