6-foot-2, 185-pound right-hander. The arm projects and the frame is very promising, his best days are in front of him. The slot is 3/4 and he moves athletically throughout the delivery. The ball comes out of the hand very well. The fastball sat 86-87 mph with minimal ride to the arm side. The spin pitch is a short breaking ball, sitting 74-75 mph with depth. The changeup is a developing pitch, sitting 77-78 mph. Good follow to see pitch and watch grow
