5-foot-11, 160-pound athletic projectable frame. Projectable on the mound, used a short loose arm action and a high ¾ arm angle while showing quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall feel type pitcher and shows easy effort. In his delivery his balance point is tall with in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Threw his fastball 76-79 mph; showed running sinking action and both sides of the plate command. (Max spin 2193; Avg 2045). Threw a 1/7 curveball (68-71) that showed down in the zone control and slurvey tilt action. (Max spin 2002; Avg 1794). Can really spin the breaking ball, a chance to be a plus pitch at some point.

5-foot-11, 160-pound athletic frame.Fluid on the mound, used a ¾ arm angle with a loose arm action while showing quick arm speed. Up-tempo type pitcher and shows easy effort. Showed strong balance point and even shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 77-80 mph; showed sinking action and arm side command with heavy movement. Had a 1/7 curveball 65-67 mph; that showed swing and miss action and low in the zone command. Threw a heavy changeup 70-71 mph; with consistent command and fading action. The stuff is really good, comes out of his hand with ease.

5-foot-11, 160-pound, average athletic frame, longer neck, sloped shoulders, good strength for his age. A right-handed pitcher, working from the set position, is tall on the back side, the lift is clean, athletic, lands slightly across the body. The arm action is longer clean on the back side, working freely through a 3/4 to lower 3/4 slot. The extension is out front, backside comes through with a classic follow through. The fastball was clocked at 72-75 mph, creates a ton of arm side run, down action as well. The slider is more frisbee like, sweeping break, clocked at 62-65 mph, chance to be a legit out pitch. The changeup is a work in progress, clocked at 69-70 mph. A sinker/slider guy, big potential, serious ground ball machine.
