6-foot, 175-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball is 74-75 mph with arm side action to it. The spin pitch is 65-66 mph and needs additional fastball hand speed added to the pitch. The changeup is a developing pitch, sitting at 71-72 mph. The delivery is online and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is repeated and he has a hard glove pull prior to foot strike. The release shows a good amount of recoil to it. The arm is clean and free. The frame is durable and thick as he should be an inning eater as he matures.
