Body: 6-3, 205-pounds. Filled out large frame with present strength especially in the lower half. Delivery: Easy consistent delivery. Uses a high knee lift and as it comes down he sinks his back leg into the rubber and rides his back hip towards home. Longer stride gives his FB some added life. Lands online with home. Finishes with a firm front leg and in a good fielding position. Arm Action: RH. Compact arm action. Slight stab in the back but doesn’t get too unnecessarily long. Above average arm speed that accelerates late in the action. Lowers his slot slightly on his off speed. FB: T84-86, 84-86 mph. Above average spin at around 2300+. Consistent location low in the zone. CB: 73-75 mph. Flashes of really good bite (2400 rpm max spin). Slurvy break due to the present horizontal break. CH: 78-80 mph. Consistent arm speed gives it deception but inconsistent with its movement. Developing secondary.
