5-foot-8, 115-pound left-handed pitcher and outfielder. On the mound, pitches out of a ¾ slot with good direction with his feet to the plate. The front shoulder needs better tracking to home plate, but he has a good start on being a good one on the bump. The fastball touched 67 mph with arm side run. The splitter was 64 mph as was the changeup . The movements are athletic and loose. At the plate, tee exit velocity of 69 mph. The swing is clean, flat path to the ball. The stance is balanced and he uses the barrel appropriately. Physical strength is needed to aid development. In the outfield, approach to the ball and through the ball is athletic. Threw 70 mph from the outfield.
