6-foot-1, 176-pound projectable frame. Above average on the mound, showed a long arm action and a high ¾ arm angle with consistent arm speed Slow-tempo type pitcher and uses easy effort. Showed consistent balance point. Lands square with a clean finish. Sat with his fastball at 79-82 mph with a max of 83 mph; shows running action with command low in the zone. Gradual action on his curveball (69-71). His changeup (70-73) was thrown to the arm side with fading action.

6-foot 166-pound frame, thin wiry frame with athleticism, lots of room to gain strength. Showed some of the best stuff of the day. Drop & drive delivery with smooth rhythm. Threw from a ¾ slot with loose arm action, quick arm speed. Quick to the plate with some effort. Good balance coming down the mound with direction to the plate. Got a big upright at times. Pounded the zone with 3 pitches. FB sat 81-83mph with some late sinking action. Secondary pitches showed above average. Tight SL was thrown at 66-68 mph with sharp 10/4 shape. CH showed some cut/sinking action, thrown at 73-74mph. Overall stuff & projectability should make him a follow going into the summer season.
