Body: 6-2, 195-pounds. Physicality immediately stands out thanks to his proportional strength throughout his frame. Room for more at the college level. Delivery: Works quick with no wasted actions in his delivery that sees him rock back onto his right leg with a high left leg kick before driving down the mound through to his release. Arm Action: RH. Short path in the back through a “stabbish” type release where he keeps the elbow close to body allows his fastball/slider pairing to come from the same arm slot and tunnel. Commanded both pitches and landed each for strikes en route to six strikeouts and a shallow fly ball out while allowing only a weak base hit to the right side during his outing. FB: T83, 82-83 mph. Significant ride and average spin give this pitch some ride to work off. Along with a 6.9 extension this is a fastball that is playing much harder than 83 mph. CB: 71-72 mph. Significant movement on the pitch and ability to locate showcased this swing and miss pitch. Lots of confidence in the pitch and could use it at will in the 2022 season. CH: 77-78 mph. Ride, run and spin an average distance away from the fastball to make a difference but more could make it even better. Tinkering with the grip and helping really pronate and slow down the pitch could really benefit the development.
