Physical: Large, projectable 6-foot-3, 185lb frame with interesting starter traits.
Pitching: RHP - Started from the stretch only off the far left side of the rubber. Quick and medium/shallow leg-lift before driving down the slope with tons of pace, keeping good length/whip in the arm at a high-¾ power-slot. Got downhill into the strike zone finishing into a stiff front side with good balance. Peppered the strike zone at 82-84, T85 with big time horizontal movement (run) in on righties (up to 20 inches of HM via Trackman). Dropped in tight 69-72 mph SL biting off the plate in advantage counts and added a killed 73-75 mph CH that flashed solid command too. Seasoned, mature arm with ability to keep hitters in between speeds.
