Illinois-Wesleyan commit. Currently ranked No. 247 in the state. 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame, athletic with room to add on strength, high waist. Got the start and threw the ball well despite unfavorable results against the top team in the state. Easy, simple delivery, short balance point, gets his lower-half moving down the mound while staying in-line, ¾ release. His fastball worked around 82-84 mph early on with sinking action, playing mostly at the bottom of the zone. Showed some feel to spin an 11/5 curveball at 74-75 mph and flick a fading changeup in at 73-75 mph.
