Fix is 6-1 with a lanky frame that has a lot of projection left to it. He throws from a low three-quarters arm slot with a short arm action that that is loose and quick, normal effort to his delivery. Shoulders are uphill and closed, lands on line with an athletic finish and some recoil. Fastball was 84-85, touching 86, with hard late run to armside. Curveball was 72-75 with good armspeed and sharp hard 12/6 break. Showed ability to throw both for strikes and curveball flashed swing and miss.

Has an athletic projectable frame. Shows normal tempo throughout delivery and maintains pace. Good leg kick working down to out and down-hill. Has a clean arm action that shows some whip and arm speed through his release. Flew open at times which caused some inconsistency with his control. Arm speed is very good and relatively easy. Fastball showed some late in life when working down in the zone, ranged from 81 to 84 miles an hour in game. Breaking ball was 71 to 73 miles an hour. Had a hard and late 1 to 7 action. Potential to be a swing-and-miss pitch as he shows better control on it. Lots of projection in this 2021 armed. More in the tank, want to keep an eye on as he adds strength and continues to develop.
