Redshirt-Sophomore. The 6-foot-4, 215-pound right-hander provided a tough look for would-be opposing hitters with a loose submarine release point. He scooped his fastball up to 88.5 mph, sitting 85-87 mph with sink. Struggled to find a consistent release point for the changeup, but flashed sinking action at 71-73 mph. Slider played with short 10/4 shape, flashing sharp at times, 70-71 mph.
