Scouting Report
Physical: Wiry, athletic build with fast twitch actions.
Pitching: Works up tempo, high leg lift building momentum as he strides out keeping shoulders in line at foot strike where he generates a lot of torque to accelerate through a repeatable release following through with a recoil. Comes out of the glove to a good neutral slot before accelerating to a clean 3/4 release.
FB: T89, 85-88 MPH. Commands with ride through the zone.
CB: 75-76 MPH. Sharp 12-6 break.
SL: 73-75 MPH. Slurve with tight break.
CH: 73-75 MPH. Good hand speed with arm side fade.
