Physical: Stocky, compact 5-foot-11, 173-pound frame with strength in the lower half.
Pitching: RHP - Utilized a quick tempoed delivery with a high leg lift at the stack creating a smooth high ¾ arm-slot on the front side. Fastball worked 81-84 mph with good command living mostly at belt level. Mixed two different shaped breaking balls which were effective; a 70-73 mph CB featuring short and late 11/5 shape & a 72-75 mph SL with late bite out of the zone. Was in the zone with all three at times and got plenty of outs.

Athletic frame has room to carry additional strength with additional velocity likely.
