6-foot-2, 190-pound, large, physical athletic frame, put together well, durable, with strength throughout. A right-handed pitcher, working from the stretch position, the delivery is repeatable, compact, building momentum down the mound. The lift is strong, loaded on the back leg, direction is line, with minimal pull to glove side. The arm action is longer, powerful, working out of a natural 3/4 slot. The fastball was up to 84 mph, with more in there, its a heavy ball with late action. Breaking ball has proper spin and shape to it, clocked at 71 mph, a true curveball. Mixed in a usable changeup, arm side fade and run action to it. The tempo is good, looks to be confident and attacks at a high level. Look for him to have a huge high school and summer season.
