Large, physical 6-foot-3, 235-pound frame, thick lower half. Logged 40+ innings on the mound this past spring. Put together one of the more polished ‘pens we saw across our JUCO circuit and has been generating buzz throughout the fall. Pumps all areas of the zone with a high-80s fastball and compliments it with three other pitches. Creates late arm-side run and sink on a 79-81 mph splitter that appears to be his primary secondary, also spins a sharp slider with late break in the high-70s. Rounds his arsenal out with a firm changeup thrown with arm speed at 82-84 mph. A clean, polished strike-throwing southpaw that has a starter profile.
