Physical: Proportional 6-foot, 160lb frame with some projection in the build.
Pitching: RHP - Started tall off the far left side of the rubber. Showed off adequate pace in the delivery, coming to a compact stack with good posture, using the glutes to fire down the slope athletically into footstrike. Landed directionally towards the mitt and released at a H ¾ slot, repeating into the strike zone at 77-79 mph on the FB (carry, T2155rpms). Mixed in a sharp 63-64 mph CB with hard, late depth and leverage out in front (strikeout, -14 inches average IVB, 2302rpms). Flashed feel for a harder 66-68 mph SL biting at a lateral tilt up to 13 inches of HM; 100% zone rate via Trackman. Flashed a solid 68-70 mph CH with killed spin and fading movement to the arm-side, varying command.
