Defender that worked through ball well with receptive hands and smooth footwork, working into long whippy high-3/4 release posting a positional velocity of 84 mph. Right-handed pitcher working with long, clean arm action into high-3/4 release with quick arm speed and regular effort. Athletic delivery with in-line direction, smooth rhythm, lands square and finishing tall. Ran fastball up to 86 mph with heaviness and life to the arm side, pitching 82-85 mph.  Breaking ball showed 11/5 shape with depth, and sharp, late break at 70-74 mph.
