6-foot-5, 210-pound long physical frame. On the mound he showed a long arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with consistent arm speed on all pitches. Does a nice job landing square on the front side. Heatherly is a physical presence on the mound but does a nice job getting downhill and creating nice tilt on the fastball at 82-83 mph. The pitch consistently stayed down in the zone and showed late life. The breaking ball showed slider type action with tight spin is a definite solid pitch in his arsenal at 67-69 mph.
