Showed versatility working out in the infield as well. Ran a 6.94 60 yard dash. On the mound, he throws from a high three-quarters arm slot, longer loose quick arm action and some effort to his delivery. Drop and drive delivery, shoulders are uphill and closed, lands closed with a fall off finish and recoil. Fastball was 82-84, touching 85, with downward angle to it and some hard late armside run. Curveball was 69-71 with good armspeed and sharp 11/5 break to it. Slider was 75-76 with good armspeed and late 10/4 break to it.
