Uncommitted, currently ranked No. 219 in Illinois’ 2022 class. Slender right-hander with room to fill out, standing at 6-foot-2, 160-pounds. His arm works loose from a high ¾ slot, short out of the glove with a clean arm circle. Controlled tempo throughout his leg-lift into a high balance point, moving into a drop/drive lower-half that remains in-line with an athletic finish. His fastball impressed with easy life out of the hand, playing through the zone with finish at 84-86 mph. His best secondary offering on the day was a slider at 70-74 mph, flashing 10/4 action that was sharp when he stayed through, occasionally getting around it.
