Physical: Long and lean 6-foot-4, 165-pound frame with projectability in the build displaying plenty of room to continue adding strength.
Pitching: RHP - Deliberate rocker step with a moderate pace throughout the delivery, gets towards a high, compact stack position and races directionally down the mound towards the target getting above-average extension out of a high ¾ release with a full arm circle. The FB played up a couple ticks at 79-81 T82 mph with a top spin of 2113 per Trackman Baseball. Mixed in a tight 72-74 mph CB with 11/5 shape and 2118 RPM’s, generating late depth out of the zone. Countered with a quality third offering, a 71-74 mph SL demonstrating more horizontal shape. A 74-75 mph straight CH was thrown with adequate sell. Should expect an increase in velocity soon and has the ability to sneak into the mid 80’s in the near future.
