Body: 5-10, 183-pounds. Strong build on athletic frame; firm muscles currently with more space to finish growing
Delivery: Pitches exclusively from the stretch. Compact and repeatable delivery. Uses a high knee lift and syncs it going down with his glove seperation. Everything works and is inline with home. Stiffens up the front leg at landing for good energy transfer.
Arm Action: RH. Longer but compact arm circle in the back. Loose and whippy action. Comes out of the H 3/4 slot. Slots all his pitches the same with similar extension for all also.
FB: T82.5, 79-81 mph. Showed decent spin for its velocity and at times flashed good rise (20.2 max IVB). Located it well low in the zone.
CB: 67-71 mph. Lower spin CB. Used more as a chase pitch down through the zone. Slurvy break with present Horizontal Break.
CH: 72-74 mph. Lower spin CH. Located well low in the zone and at times flashed good armside fade.
