Body: 5-10, 130-pounds. Lanky build on smaller frame.

Arm Action: RH. Long arm circle back that works into a strong-3/4 release. Healthy and repeatable
FB: T75, 72-74 mph. Attacks zone. Shows some depth. Horizontal arm side run.
CB: 62-63 mph. Big break with a hard bite. Gets hitters on front foot
CH: 68-69 mph. Not much of a minus but the action makes up for the lack of minus. Will continue to get better as he gains strength and subsequent velocity.
