6-foot-190 pounds. Slight side step and kick to the belt, with hand rhythm to the chin before separating into a long arm swing. Early to the top, works from an over-the-top slot. Around the zone, misses tended to be on-line with up/down issues. Fastball ranged 79-83. Breaking ball rolled out of the hand with slight tilt at 68. Hand position tended to be weak on the breaking ball and could be cleaned to create a stronger bite, as he works with solid arm speed through the pitch. Right handed hitter. Tall and balanced. Short stride with minimal movement. Hands load back and slightly in. Works to stay flat with a pull gap tendency. Squared up several balls in the live scrimmage. Ran a 4.88 home to 1st. At first base, solid bend in the hips and loose hands. Footwork can take him off line at times but there is enough athleticism to still have accuracy to his throws. Arm measured at 70 across the infield.
