6-foot, 175-pound right-handed pitcher. The frame is projectable and his actions are athletic. The delivery is solid in tempo and repeated. The arm is slightly above 3/4 and fast. The glove side is under control and the feet are online. He does a good job of getting into the backside to ride the slope and involved his bottom half. The fastball was up to 93 mph with arm side action. The spin pitch is above average, sitting 78-79 mph with plus depth/tilt. The changeup was 78-79 mph with arm side fade to it. Top of the line arm in the country at this age.

Young right-hander, mid to upper 80's with promising secondary stuff. Very quick arm with a chance to be a front line guy down the line.
