Average frame with some athleticism present at 5-foot-11, 150 pounds. Thin, the body can add strength in the coming years. Small rocker and kick to the mid-chest in the wind-up. Tall and stable with his head. Long, loose arm swing as the front side works on-line, landing square. Quick arm with good feel for three pitches, flashing advanced pitch-ability in the bullpen. Fastball ranged 81-83, touching 84. Breaking ball works out of the same window as the fastball at 70-73 with a spin rate above 2600 rpm. Good feel, landing the pitch and expanding with it when asked to. Solid 1/7 tilt. Change-up has hand speed and deception at 75-77. Occasional fade with feel to the arm side.

Athletic 5-foot-11, 150 pound frame. Thin, can continue to add strength. Quick arm flashed advanced stuff. Fastball sat 83-85, seeming to play harder out of the hand. May have the ability to pitch off his 4-seam at the top of the zone. Breaking ball worked out of a slow arm with gradual 1/7 rolling tilt, sitting 67-68. Was asked to throw it harder, creating much tighter spin and hard, downer tilt at 73-74. Did not land the harder breaking ball with any consistency, but should have the ability to land it with reps. Change-up comes from a lower slot, at times pushing it, flashing early fade at 74-76. Small rocker and easy turn to a leg kick to the mid-chest. Simple head and hands, working off a slightly closed line and landing a ½ foot across his line, with a square toe. Good extension. Long arm swing and quick arm. Over-the-top slot on the fastball. Tends to relax the slot slightly on the breaking ball. Command should improve with stable hand speed and a stable slot.
