Body: 5-11, 180-pounds.
Delivery: Athletic delivery, holds ball out of glove during windup, drop and drive mechanics.
Arm Action: RH. Very long arm action, high slot, almost over the top.
FB: T89, 87-89 mph. FB has some arm side run to it, misses up sometimes when arm is late. T2192, 1953 average rpm.
SL: 75-77 mph. Really tight breaker, plays well for strikes in zone and chase pitch. T2108, 2054 average rpm.
