Arm works from a high 3/4 slot with average speed and minimal effort. Fastball shows slight running action as it enters the zone with downer action. He commanded the pitch very well. Curveball shows late and has slider-like sweeping action to it. Also threw a more traditional curve had 11/5 shape. Shows feel for a changeup where he slows his arm down a tick. The pitch has sinking action to the back foot of righties. Command was sporadic on the pitch, but most were in or around the zone.
