6-foot-2, 200-pound left-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 83-84 mph, downhill at times. The spin pitch is a good one as it has serious depth, it sat 67-69 mph. The changeup was 74-75 mph and showed fade and sink at times. The delivery is online and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is solid in tempo, small coil at the top and he stays online. The glove goes high too low as he makes his way into foot strike, making it difficult for the hitter to pick up the baseball. He is a very good looking arm that shoulder garner a bunch of college attention.

6-foot-2, 200-pound left-handed pitcher. I thought he threw the ball very well at the event. The fastball sat 83-84 mph and downhill at times. The spin pitch is above average, sitting 68-70 mph. The changeup is solid in shape and form, sitting 75-76 mph. The delivery is online with the feet and the slot is above 3/4 in height. The lift is repeated, front arm goes high to low as he makes his way into foot strike. The arm works free and clean, very short on the backside. The command of the fastball was solid and he has the makings of a put away pitch.
