Athletic frame with some strength present at 6-foot, 195 pounds.  Heavy fastball bumped 87 when working to get extension through the target.  Flashed a curveball and slider that both project to get outs and create swing and miss options.  Stable over the rubber with a small rocker and quick turn.  Lifts to the mid-chest, settling over the rubber as the hands separate.  Slight plunge out of the glove working to a high-3/4 slot with good arm speed.   Level and on-line, lands in-line and square.  Falls to the 1B side at times.  Showed an ability to pitch with the fastball at 84-87, 2086 rpm, elevating at times when requested.  Curveball ranged 72-73 with late, power tilt and 11/5 action and a 2356 rpm.  Good hand speed on the curveball.  Slider sat 72-74 with shorter, quicker action, 1792 rpm.

Some length in a 6-foot-2, 175 pound frame.  Continuing to mature.  Fastball up to 85, sitting comfortably 82-84 as the bullpen progressed.  Attacks the zone with all three.  Strike thrower.  Breaking ball is sharp with feel for the zone at 69-71.  Has trust in his spin.  Change-up is the third pitch, pushed at times with a slower arm, ranging 66-69.  Simple leg lift, curling the body around the front side.  Strides out on-line allowing for extension.  Medium arm swing, reaching down at separation, working back to a high-3/4 slot.  Falls to the 1B side after release.
