Physical: Strong/durable 6-foot-3, 195lb frame with rotational power out of an imposing presence on the hill.
Pitching: RHP - Started from the left side of the rubber operating out of the “stretch only.” Utilized a medium-high leg lift with pace into footstrike, getting over the front side on-time with intent creating some downhill tilt into the strike zone. Repeatable, above-average movements producing good carry (16+ inches of IVB) to the bottom of the zone on 85-87 mph FB’s. Mixed a sharp, downer 70-73 mph curveball for swing/miss featuring late depth/dive out of the strike zone. A 77-79 mph SL worked straight across the plate showing a slightly different look, as did a commanded 80-83 mph CH (60% zone rate via Trackman Baseball). Four pitches with feel and two (FB, CB) can show above-average at times.
