Works with a slower pace tempo to a delivery that doesn't require much effort. Arm travels through a near over the top slot. Expect velocity additions as physical maturation takes its course.
Fastball: Impressive movement on the heater. The 18-20 inches of induced vertical break make the pitch a tough one to barrel.
Breaking Ball: Pops out of the hand with big, gradual action.
Changeup: Good sell out of the hand with similar down action to fastball.
Pitchability: Strike thrower for the most part.
