Positional Profile: LHP/1B.
Body: 5’10, 150 pounds.
Delivery: Side saddle with a small rocker and smooth lift to the low chest. Coils the lower half at balance, closing the top half. Front side swings open as he uncoils. Lands on-line with a square foot-strike
Arm Action: LH. Arm works in line with his shoulders through a full arm action. High-3/4 release with average to above arm speed.
FB: T74, 73-74 mph. 1875 - 1930 rpm. Some arm side run. Better feel as the bullpen progressed, showing fastball to both sides
CB: 63-67 mph. 1845 - 2845 rpm. 2/8 tilt out of the hand with gradual arc. Located for strikes.
CH: 65-66 mph. 1059 - 1105 rpm. Solid arm speed and extension. Located the change to the glove side
Average frame with room to add strength, standing 5-foot-10, 150 pounds. Strike thrower. Starts slightly side-saddled with a small rocker and easy lift to the lower chest. Slightly coiled and closed at balance. Long arm swing with looseness to the top. Fights for his slot as the front side clears, working from a high-3/4 release. Decent athlete, did repeat the delivery. Fastball sat 74-77 with spin rates ranging 1825-2024 rpm. Good change-up with run as it enters the hitting zone. Hand speed creates good deception. Change sat 66-68. Spin rates ranged 1160-1365 rpm on the change-up. Breaking ball tends to roll out of the hand with early, gradual 2/8 tilt. Tends to slow the arm at times. Curveball sat 58-61 while spinning at 1737–1816 rpm.
