The 6-foot-4, 175-pound right-handed prospect has a long, lanky frame with plenty of room to fill out. He uses a high ¾ arm slot and easy arm action to generate an 81-83 mph fastball. His changeup sits at 68-79 mph while his curveball fluctuates between 63-67 mph. Because he has the tendency to open his front side early, he runs into mechanical issues that limit his consistency and effectiveness. However, with his size and projectability, he is a pitcher to follow next summer.

Good physical projection in lank body. Competes well. Repeats delivery with moderate arm speed through upper 3/4 slot. Gets arm extension with finish. Fastball shows some life ranging 83-85 mph and topping at 87 mph with some arm side run. Has short break in 70-72 mph curveball but will drop arm slot at times with it.
