Scouting Report
6/6/17
An athletic and muscular 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame with strength throughout. Works from a smooth, average tempo delivery. Arm action has a quick change of direction in the back and comes through a high-3/4 slot with some looseness. Fastball ranges 83-87 mph with some downhill tilt and occasional cut. Slider shows late depth with tight spin and 10/4 shape, 73-75 mph. In the game, showed well above average command with the fastball and used the slider as a put away pitch, striking out four in two innings of work.
