Body: 6-2, 210-pounds. Athletic sturdy build with a solid base. Room to add lean mass to his frame. Delivery: Simple, under control delivery with a medium high leg lift. Rides down the mound well with potential for deeper sit. Arm Action: RH. Short and whippy arm that gets up on time with a clean deceleration pattern. FB: T84, 79-80 mph. Above average Induced Vertical Break with an average of 20.3 inches. Low release height will add to the deception and will help miss bats up in the zone. SL: 63-66 mph. Slow, sweepy breaking ball dominated by horizontal movement. Averaged 13.1 inches with an average spin rate right around 2000 RPM. CH: 69-71 mph. Quality velocity difference from FB, movement is similar and will benefit from killing vertical break. Showed feel for this pitch.
