08.09.18 Lanky, athletic frame at 6-foot-3, 165 pounds. Plenty of room to add strength as he matures. High ceiling. Heavy fastball has angle when in the down zone. Ranged 81-85, touching 86. Long, loose arm swing works through a slight stab but is on time to an over-the-top release. Level with some rhythm. High leg kick. Slight tilt up in his hips out of balance. Lands on-line and square. Breaking ball is still maturing but has makings of an out-pitch. At 66-70, it has differing shapes with downer 12/6 action, slight tilt at 11/5 and more sweeping 10/4 tilt. When the hand maintains hand speed and he stays behind the pitch, the downer 12/6 has depth and is late creating swing and miss in zone as well as chase.
