Long legged, wiry frame. Showed a 3 pitch mix, and was feeling it early on. FB was 87 in the first, showed the CB at 71-73, could really spin it. Ended up settling in at 82-85. Faced a tough line-up and competed in the zone throughout his outing. Liked him out of the stretch, showed control with the slide-step. Really strong finish, loose arm. More to come for the young ‘22.
