Positional Profile: RHP/OF Really opened some eyes during his bullpen. Hasn't thrown a lot of big innings yet, but the stuff is there to really make some noise in '23. Clean arm, with velocity that continues to rise. Has a good feel for his secondary pitches. Will be a must follow in the Spring. Body: 6-0, 160-pounds. Delivery: Controlled and consistent tempo, lands square to the catcher, shows good balance over the rubber, repeats release point and landing spot well. Arm Action: RH. Long, clean, quick arm action, high 3/4 slot. FB: T90.4, 89-90 mph. FB touched 90, has a Hop + and Rise + score of 95. Should play up in the zone well. T2344, 2272 average rpm. CB: 72-72 mph. True 2 plane breaker. Gets good depth on the pitch and has a sweep + score of 104. A Swing and Miss Pitch T2591, 2487 average rpm. SL: 72-74 mph. T2486, 2460 average rpm. CH: 79-80 mph. Good arm action and showed the ability to kill the spin. Came out of the hand just like his FB. Not a lot of movement but good deception. T1793, 1716 average rpm.
