6-foot-2, 190 pounds with a lengthy and projectable pitcher’s frame. High-waisted build. Works from the far left side of the rubber. Stays tall at leg lift with a high knee-drive and slight coil into rear hip. Shows some back leg drive at hand break and creates some upward angle with his shoulders. Average stride length with very slight cross action in landing. Arm action pushes back with a quick ‘stab’ then shortens up & gets compact. High ¾ release. Ball shows downward angle/tilt out of hand. Upright finish with consistent extension out over front side. Moves well through his core with loose hips in the delivery. Accelerates late through release. Keeps eyes on target throughout. Stays behind the ball well and could see an uptick in velocity as frame adds additional weight.
