Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Big burly body on sizeable 6-foot-2 205-lb frame, there is some pitchability with a traditional three pitch mix (FB/CB/CHG), FB peaked at 82 mph and sat 77-81, spin maxed at 2056 and the nice horizontal movement patterns both indicate that he can work to develop his fastball into more of a sinker that lives down and fades late, CB spin maxed at 1941 which is a number that can go up to get more bite vs smooth action, there is some two plane movement that can get some hitters to expand the zone, CHG with big reduction of spin off the FB look, down to 1202 spin which tells the tale of a heavy CHG that can get ground balls.
