Thin build at 6-foot, 165 pounds. Frame can continue to handle added strength. Left hander has some arm speed along with 3 pitches he can attack with. The fastball ranged 82-86, bumping an 87. Created some swing and miss at the top of the zone, and chase when elevated. The breaking ball rolls out of the hand with a slight hump and 12/6 tilt at 68-70. It should continue to tighten with increased strength. Some feel for a change-up with slight fade to the arm side at 77-78. Showed comfort attacking hitters with all three pitches. Stable over the rubber with a kick to the high chest. Good stride length, working level and in-line. Lands on-line and square. Average extension, occasionally re-coiling out of pitches. Arm plunges out of the glove working with a long arc to an over-the-top slot. Body should continue to mature and with that the stuff should continue to grow.
