6-foot-1, 175-pound, LHP skips any kind of rocker step and heads straight into an up-tempo motion, leg lift only gets about waist high and creates a slight little shoulder tilt before heading toward the plate, strides and lands in a closed position but is usually able to get out and over his front side, arm action is long through a high ¾ slot but gets a little stiff near release, finishes in front and under control.  Fastball showed some run and sink through the zone when kept down, slider had some slight movement with 2/8 shape, changeup seemed to have some sink on it but missed down a few times.
