5-foot-11, 200-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 75-77 mph with arm side action to it. The spin pitch was 65-67 mph and big in shape. The change up is still a developing pitch for him. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in action. The lift is repeated, solid in tempo and appropriate. The direction of the top half is very good as he stays with his arm and throws strikes. He showed the ability to pound the zone and displayed a good feel for what he was trying to during his outing.
