Jaxel has a lean, wiry, and projectable frame at 6-foot-3 180-pounds. Fastball topped at 83 MPH and sat mostly 82-83 in one inning of work in relief. Flashed an 11/5 breaker for strikes at 68-71 MPH and a changeup with some armside fade at 74-78 MPH. Clean, long arm action with little effort, Jaxel showed feel for the bottom-half of the strikezone from a high-3/4 slot. Lands slightly closed and will turn off toward first base side of the rubber on release. Big velocity to follow as he continues to fill out lanky frame.
