Physical: High-waisted, large 6-foot-1, 225lb frame with raw power on the mound.
Pitching: RHP - Slower, momentum building pace in the delivery from the middle of the rubber. Found a balanced stack position and then got downhill from a taller release (H ¾ slot). A heavy FB showed well at 85-87 mph, T88 and gave way to a developing upper-70’s CB that produced flashes on the horizontal axis. Mixed a quality 80-82 mph straight CH with some depth and dabbled with a mid-80’s sinker that landed at the bottom of the zone.
