Norris is listed at 6-foot 2, 175-pound with high waist, long levers and room to add to his frame. He repeats a ¾ arm slot with elbow lead creating some deception to how the ball plays at the plate. The FB reached a velocity of 79 mph and was able to drive it to spots. He also featured some arm side run to his two-seam fastball. His CB played as his best offspeed offering as he was able to spin it in 2381 rpm on average and he was able to land this tight breaking pitch for strikes. The CH was also a potential weapon as he was able to maintain arm speed and intent that created some fade to the pitch, as well. Overall, Norris is an intriguing arm with some deception to his delivery that add to a solid three-pitch mix.
