Tennessee commit. 6-foot-2, 195-pound left-handed pitcher, proportional frame, broad upper half, strong lower half with more strength developing throughout. On the mound, arm works long on the back-side with some wrist curl, accelerates quickly out front to a ¾ slot, advanced arm speed, whippy hand speed. Drop and drive delivery, rides his explosive lower half down the mound, long stride, works across the mound some, finishes crossing over. Fastball sat 87-89, touched 90, mostly straight, high spin rate (2500+ rpm). Curveball, 73-75, 12/6 shape, depth, bite, swing and miss pitch. Slider, tight spin, lateral movement, plays more like a cut-fastball, 83-84. Changeup, fade action. Legit four pitch mix, some of the best “stuff” at the Underclass Games.
