Projectable, tall, and lean 6’3” 155 lbs. frame with plenty of room to add strength. The southpaw threw from the stretch during his bullpen, beginning on the right side of the rubber. Came set to a slightly tall set-up with some bend in his knees. High leg lift, falling down the mound with some deception, as he slightly strided across his body. Brought the ball up quickly, releasing it from a high ¾ arm slot that produced a max FB velocity of 75 mph with classic left handed sink and run. CB sat 64-65 mph and was more like a slurve. Also flashed a developing 71-72 mph CH that stayed straight as it crossed the hitting zone.
