Throws form a 3/4 arm slot. Arm moves fast and has long arms that are loose and whip through his motion FB: T86, 84-85 mph. FB will play best when its in the zone. He has good stuff and will induce a lot of swing and miss, especially up in the zone T2328, 2230 average rpm. CB: 69-72 mph. Spins the ball really good. Once he gets some more feel for it it will be really hard for hitters to square it up. T2419, 2248 average rpm. SL: 70-70 mph. T2139, 2139 average rpm. CH: 78-82 mph. CH was in the zone and profiled similar ot his FB, adding some sink to it will make it even more effective.
