Short right-hander that comes at hitters out of a low ¾ arm slot. The fastball has ride and life to it, making it tough to barrel up. The direction of his feet have crossfire to them, which leads to deception. The spin pitch is slurvy and tough to pick up due to the direction of his feet. The spin is going to be a good pitch for him as he matures. The fastball range was 77-78 mph. The spin pitch sat in the 67-69 mph range with tilt to it. The changeup is a work in progress. Competes and shoves his pitches right in there to challenge up.

Short right handed pitcher who I saw pitch this spring up in New Hampshire. Shows very good potential on the mound. Fastball has a small cutting action to it, as he pitches against his feet (crossfire). The slot is ¾ and his arm is quick on the backside. Getting into foot strike quicker would help tap into his velocity as well. Spins the ball very well. The fastball sat at 79 mph with action. The slurve was 66 mph and it's a solid pitch. The changeup is 75 mph, probably a tick too hard, as he needs to add skin to the ball to minus the velocity.
