Strong, projectable frame. Started the gam on the bump for the Cavaliers working three and two-thirds innings allowing four runs (one earned), on four hits, two walks, and struck out eight in the ballgame. Fastball sat 89-91 mph and mixed in a breaking ball and change-up. Breaking ball was 75-78 mph with 11/5 shape and a 2000-2100 spin rate. Power change sat 83-84 mph. Was able to repetitively come up with big strikeouts in key situations to limit some damage. Works downhill and showed really quick arm speed through release. Loose arm and throws from a low to mid three quarters slot with light effort. Lands square to the plate and gets over front side well.
