6-foot, 185-pound frame. Worked exclusively from the stretch in his bullpen session. Tall/fall type delivery with some minor back leg ride, front side stays level to target, works direct to target and lands square. Long, slinger-type arm action, ¾ slot. Fastball sat 67-72 mph with sinking action, primarily to the arm-side of the plate. Changeup played at 60-63 mph, flashed arm-side action, still developing a full feel for pitch.
