5-foot-9, 185-pound right-handed pitcher. Had a very good showing at the event. The fastball sat 84-85 mph and he hammered the zone with it. The fastball comes out of higher than 3/4 slot and is downhill. The spin pitch is solid in shape, sitting 72-74 mph with depth and tilt. The changeup is a developing pitch for him. The delivery is solid in tempo and he repeats the action. Good looking prospect.
