6-foot-2, 165-pound primary right-handed pitcher sat 75-80 mph from a high 3/4 arm-slot while utilizing a high knee lift to generate leg-drive. Displayed 11/5 rotation on his 66-70 mph curveball. Demonstrated feel for a 67-70 mph changeup that featured slight sink and good sell. The right-handed hitter starts with an open stance and uses a leg-hang stride to initiate his swing. Registered an 83 mph bat-exit velocity with a flat bat-path to the baseball during batting practice. Showcased soft hands and active feet to record accurate 76 mph throws across the infield. Ran a 7.19 60-yard dash flashing athleticism in his frame.
