6-foot-1, 220-pound, strong, thick, well proportioned athlete, very durable pitchers frame. A right-handed pitcher, the lift is controlled, hands start lower, work up with leg raise, gets to a good gather over back side. Building momentum down the mound, quick acceleration on separation, arm action is longer on the backside. Slight forward lean, landing inline, extension, with a bigger follow through with back leg. The fastball is heavy, bore action to it, clocked at 84 mph, spin rate is higher, up over 2200. The breaking ball is thrown with good velocity, up to 74-75 mph, late depth, tight spin. Showed feel for a changeup, with downward fade action. Love the aggressiveness, attacks, works quick. Good follow, will bring a different look to a staff.
