7/02/20
Large frame, strong lower. Came in relief against halos Saturday night. Short, stabby arm action from an over-the-top slot, some deception, in line with target, slight drop and drive, upright finish. Fastball sat 81-82 with glove-side cut, working it middle-in to right-handed bats consistently. Slider is 71-72, sweeping actions, needs more refinement to be an outpitch.
