6-foot-5, 165-pound, RHP features prototypical pitcher size. XL tall, long and lanky w/ lot of projection, little present strength. Pitches from a full wind-up into ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber. Gets a little bunched up as he enters his balance point w/ slight cocking action in the back of his arm swing. Clean delivery, learning to repeat and control his body, gets a little mechanical at times instead of just letting his arm work. Downhill angle. Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run. Big 12-6 downer CB w/ above average depth. Can get loopy at times, come up out of his hand. Sprayed the zone on this day, projects to control as he learns his body. Generated 3 swing and misses on 13 swings.
