6-foot, 145-pound right-handed pitcher. The delivery is solid in tempo and the arm works free and clean. The arm is quick and comes out of a 3/4 slot. The feet are online and he moves athletically throughout the process. The addition of strength and weight should aid the process for him as he has a chance to be a legit guy on the mound. The fastball sat 83-84 mph with arm side action and command of the baseball. The spin pitch is a slider that is big in shape, sitting 61-62 mph. The changeup is a developing pitch for him. He is a guy to follow in the coming years.
