Southwest Tennessee commit had a huge day, recording a no hitter and striking out 15.  Medium, athletic frame w/ present lower half strength, some physical projection.  Pitches from a full wind-up into H ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Quick arm.  FB shows occasional arm side run.  CB flashes tight rotation w/ above average depth.  Shows feel for spin manipulation, showing loopier as a get ahead pitch and tighter as a put away.  Mixed in one CH, showed some fade.  Strike-thrower flashed ability to pitch w/ intent w/ FB/CB mix.  Feel for pitching FB to both corners.  Generated 16 swing and misses on 36 swings.
