5 foot 10, 130-pound average frame. Easy delivery with good rhythm over the rubber. Level and on-line throughout, working with a medium arm swing. Above average arm speed gets to a high-3/4 release. Good extension on each pitch. Fastball ranged 72-73, spinning at 2060 – 2170 rpm. In the zone, lacking command inside the zone at times. Good change-up has arm side run with solid arm speed. Sat at 66 with a spin rate of 1515 rpm. Landed the breaking ball with some consistency. Late 11/5 tilt, occasionally with more of sweepy 10/4 action, sitting 58-61. Spins at 1660 – 1710 rpm. Offensively, sets up from the right side with a wide base and more weight on his back leg. Uses a small leg kick for his load with some slight barrel movement. Flat barrel path working through the middle of the field. Average bat speed that should improve with more looseness to the hands. Exit velocity recorded at 69 mph. Active feet on the infield, catching the ball in the center of his body. Funnels to his belt after catch with a long arm action, throwing from a high ¾ slot. Some carry and accuracy to his throws topping at 72 mph to first base. Recorded a 5.28 home to first time.
