Delivery: Gets into back hip well which helps him move down the mound and transfer energy into front foot strike. Gathers momentum in windup through drop step. Lead leg needs to do a better job blocking energy, so it is able to transfer to the arm. Adding strength/mass will help with overall stability.
Arm Action: Clean arm action that gets up and on time at front foot strike. Hand stays behind the ball for a long time as the arm unwinds.
FB - 74-77 MPH with ride that can play up in the zone.
