Young player with some strength in the 5-foot-9, 150 pound frame already. Tended to play through balls with a conservative exchange. Feet caused some stiffness in the body as he readied the arm. Left handed thrower works with a long arm arc to a high-3/4 slot, almost over-the-top. Flashed accuracy throughout the day. From the right side of the box, worked with an athletic stance and no load. Short stride leads to a level path with some hook in the approach, creating a heavier pull tendency. A compact swing, the head does sink on the stride causing some barrel awareness issues. Exit velocity topped at 81. Ran a 30 in 4.19. On the bump, fastball ranged 67-70 from a choppy arm action that has a small stab, working to an over-the-top slot. Threw strikes with all three pitches. Curveball shows downer action with gradual break, topping at 62. The straight change sat 66-67.
