Physical: Athletic, even proportioned 5-foot-11, 170lb frame with some feel; Pace University commit.
Pitching: LHP - Began sideways off the left side of the rubber, using a calm rocker step before driving to a connected leg lift with slight hip coil at the top; moved down the slope with efficiency and medium intent at a H ¾ release. The FB ranged from 82-84 mph at T2249rpms showing big time arm-side run and command to AS. Mixed in a tight, two-plane 63-65 mph CB with late depth on a 1/7 tilt and countered with a killed 69-71 mph CH fading shortly across the plate at 1680rpms.
