6-foot-2, 161-pound, longer, lean athletic frame, longer neck, sloped shoulders, with plenty room for added weight gains. A right-handed pitcher, threw the baseball very well at this event. The delivery is simple, working from the stretch position, the lift is athletic, strong post leg, stride is inline, getting extension out front on release. The arm action is short, quick and clean on the backside, slot is slightly higher than 3/4. The fastball comes out of his hand with ease, up to 82 mph, with arm side life to it, locates it all over the zone. The slider was clocked at 72 mph, late break and bite to it, a swing and miss offering. Didn't show much up a changeup, with such clean arm action, should be able to develop over time. One of the better arms in the area, big follow.
