Physical: Athletic, projectable 6-foot, 170lb frame with even proportions on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber from the stretch-only, operating with a repeatable delivery using a medium/high leg lift showing slight hip coil at the top and then using drop/drive out into footstrike. The arm played with high intent from a moderate takeaway through a H ¾ slot. FB ranged from 74-76 mph with low-spin, sinker traits and held the zone at a 25% clip. Countered showing a shorter 65-67 mph CB with gradual 11/5 shape, turning to a quality 66-68 mph split with some depth and slight arm-side fade (2 inches AVG via Trackman).

Physical: 6’0 170lb RHP move fluidly on the mound. Displays very good body control throughout the entire process.
Pitching: Pitching mainly out of the stretch, he keeps consistent rhythm in his feet and legs. Uses a high leg kick to generate some power as he begins to drive towards home plate. Arm works with a long swing moving into a high OTT arm slot. Still has room to increase strength and overall velocity.
