Scouting Report

6-foot-1, 185-pound build. Left hand hitter. Controlled, balanced swing with quickness and strength in his hands. Has feel for the barrel keeping it through the zone. Made hard contact in game action with the ability to use both sides of the field. Has arm strength defensively. 

Pitched 2 innings recording each out via strike out. Fastball sat at 80-82 mph with run and sink to his arm side. Mixed in a breaking ball with sweeping action at 68-69 mph. Showed feel for the breaking ball landing it for called strikes while also using it to get swing a miss. Got his fastball to both sides of the plate. Attacked the zone with confidence in both pitches.
