Lean, wiry frame with some projection. Has made steady progress in the velocity category climbing to 80 this Fall with a simple, repeatable delivery. Controlled tempo through delivery with loose arm that stays around the zone. Low spin FB generating weak contact paired with above average spin CB at 68-70 (2241 rpm). Curveball has nice bite with 11/5 action tunneling well off FB up in the zone. Showed CH which he could throw for strikes. Low 80s arm with feel for zone and secondary pitches, could be a challenging matchup when he gets into the low-to-mid 80s.
