6/11/19
A proportional 6-foot, 170-pound frame. On the mound, the right-hander works from a slightly up tempo delivery with moderate leg kick and coil at the top before striding to the dish and finishing forward. Arm action has moderate length in the back, getting high early before coming through an over the top slot. Fastball keeps its plane at 74-77 mph, nearly all strikes. Curveball shows 11/5 shape with rolling action at 63-69 mph. Changup shows some fade at 71-72 mph. In the game retired all 6 batters he faced.
12-16-18 A proportional 6-foot, 170 pound frame with some room to add size and strength.
