6-foot-6, 215-pound right-handed pitcher. He is one of the top right-handed pitching prospect on the east coast. The arm is clean and quick. The delivery is solid in tempo and he stays with his arm. The slot is slightly above 3/4 and quick out front. The feet are online and he gets into foot strike with ease. The projection is through the roof based on his leverage to the plate. The fastball sat 86-87 mph with arm side run and sink to it. The spin pitch is a breaking ball, which is slurvy, sitting 76-77 mph. The spin pitch could be an out pitch at the next level. The changeup is a 76-77 mph with arm side fade to it.
