Physical: Tall, lanky 6-foot-6, 175lb frame with ultra projection on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the far corner of the rubber using adequate pace in the delivery. Found a balanced stack position at waist height, working down the slope with some drop/drive into footstrike. Landed strikes from a H ¾ slot with arm-side run on a 75-77 mph FB to both sides. Mixed a two-plane 63-65 mph CB with leverage out in front and T2201rpms of spin. More velocity coming as he continues adding strength and thickness onto the build.
