Scouting Report
5’11, 165 with a proportional frame and solid build. Offensively shows a controlled leg lift into forward stride to initiate swing. Deliberate tempo throughout with quick hands into the zone and loose barrel action. Uses a tight scap load during leg left which allows levers to stay short/bent & keeps barrel inside of the ball. Middle of the field approach with ability to create easy lift when he catches ball out front. INF, sound defensive actions with consistent body control and a reliable glove hand. Slightly narrow stance in pre-pitch approach with short footwork then widens out into a more athletic base while funneling ball in and sinks hips down to the ball. Glove tap on the exchange for rhythm. Full arm path from low ¾ slot with loose finish.
On the mound, uses a smooth, methodical delivery with consistent tempo throughout. Stays tall on backside at leg lift with slight coil into rear hip. Some flexion on back leg as he pushes down the slope and maintains level shoulders. Arm action gets fully extended after hand break. Full, pendulum type path into ¾ release. Tight glove side out front with extension over his front side. Eyes stay on target throughout. Showed FB/CB/CH combo on this look. Lower spin rate FB gets some late ASR when down in the zone and CH tumbles late when thrown at its best. Hard downer action on CB with 11/5 shape and more gradual break.
