Uncommitted. Currently ranked No. 216 in the state. 6-foot-1 160-pound frame, lean and projectable build. Started on the mound for Brother Rice and threw it well over his seven innings of work, scattering seven hits with just one earned run, one walk and two strikeouts. The southpaw worked around 77-79 mph with the fastball, playing with some deception out of the hand and getting on hitters quickly. He also showed a slurvy breaking ball in the upper-60s to pair off the fastball and keep hitters off-balance, dumping it in for strikes and locating beneath the zone at times.

Struck out five and scattered three hits over four innings of work, allowed an earned run. Tall/fall type delivery with some deception, repeats consistently and in the zone often. Fastball touched 81, played in the upper-70s, and attacked in all quadrants of the strike zone. Feel for CB/CH mix, comfortable throwing them in any count.
