6-foot-3, 180-pound right-handed pitcher. Longer frame. Smooth tempo delivery with good direction down mound. Arm works from a ¾ arm slot with clean arm action. Fastball was straight and sat 81-82 mph topping at 83 mph. Curveball is 12/6 with average shape and spin thrown at 65-68 mph. Change-up with straight with occasional sinking action at 73-74 mph. Interesting to see if there is a velocity jump this Spring.
