Heartland commit, currently ranked No. 116 in the state. Listed at 6-foot-3, 220-pounds, athletic build with some strength throughout. The right-hander threw it well over 3.1 innings, allowing two hits, one earned run and striking out three against no walks. The right-hander works into a slightly up-tempo leg-lift, high balance point, tall/fall operation down the mound that works in-line. His arm plays with a short circle out of the glove, transitioning into a ¾ release. He creates natural sinking action on his fastball, playing mostly 85-86 mph and grabbing 87 mph once in the first inning. To pair off the fastball he went to a 10/4 slider at 79-81 mph, working shorter at times and also showing the ability to get more depth on it.
Verbally committed to Heartland CC.
