Inconsistent with his lower half, got better as the bullpen progressed. Has a shorter, quick arm throwing from an almost over the top slot. Fastball is straight up to 78 mph. Breaking ball has shorter, 11/5 action on the pitch and when throws with intent had nice later action and potential at 67 mph. Change up showed fade and dive to the pitch at 74 mph.
