Smooth rhythm, level shoulders, in-line direction, lands square and finishes athletic. Fastball sat 81-83 mph with solid angle and control. Breaking ball showed 11/5 shape with gradual break and near fastball arm speed at 63-65 mph. Also showed a changeup with near fastball arm speed and fade action at 72-74 mph.
