Physical: Lengthy, high-waisted 6-foot-2, 155lb frame with lots of projection.
Pitching: LHP - Started off the far right edge of the rubber using a quick, higher leg lift with a slight pause at the top that held tempo down the slope.

Mixed in a gradual 58-59 mph SL with two-plane tilt at times, able to create weak contact when getting leveraged out in front.
