Physical: Strong, durable 5-foot-11, 180lb frame with plenty of athleticism on the rubber/mound feel.
Pitching: RHP - The righty attacked from the far left side of the rubber with a pause at the side-rocker, gained gradual momentum throughout the delivery, working to a high stack position before creating separation on the drive out towards the mitt. Violent rotational drive downward at footstrike while releasing through a quick, high ¾ slot with life. The FB showed 80-83, T85 mph missing barrels up in the zone with elite carry (23 mph IVB max). Paired a sharp 69-70 mph breaker adding depth late in ball flight (near 10 inches IVB) and countered with a 76-78 mph CH with big time fade (23.1 inches of average HM). Featured command of three pitches notching obvious high-upside on the mound.
