2/24/18 - Lean and streamlined 6-foot-0 185-pound left-hander who is an uncommitted senior and a pretty good one. High-3/4 slot, arm works easy, has arm speed that suggests he's not done gaining velocity as he gets older and stronger, lots of fastball run, occasionally flat run but it does move, best pitch is a quick change of direction curveball that is more of a slurve than a 1/7 curveball, broke under right-handed hitters hands with late action, definitely gives him a chance to navigate a line-up a few times through. Used a changeup but was struggling with control and too often left it up. Pitches with some emotion and has to walk that fine line of being in control of his emotions and taking a deep breath.
