5-foot-11, 180-pound athletic solid frame. Solid actions on the mound with long arm action and he shows above average arm speed from a ¾ arm angle. Slow-tempo type pitcher that shows easy effort during the delivery. Showed a consistent balance point and an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 83-85 mph and topped out at 86 mph; showed very consistent control and late action. His 12/6 curveball (68-69) has consistent control and tight action. Showed control low in the zone and fading action on his changeup (69-70). Very clean delivery and the changeup tunnels well with the fastball.

5-foot-10, 180-pound mature frame. Above average on the mound, threw from a high ¾ arm angle and had above average arm speed. Up-tempo type pitcher and uses some effort. an athletic finish. Produced a fastball that came in at 84-86 mph and topped out at 87 mph; had late action and arm side command with heavy movement. Showed a sharp curveball (68-69) with late action. Late ASR on the fastball and the breaking ball is a 2 plane pitch showing late depth. Nice looking '22 RHP.

High ¾ slot on this RHP that really stayed down in the zone with both pitches he showed. The FB was up to 82 mph and consistently sat 80-81 mph with some late movement. The breaking ball was well shaped with tight spin at 65-66 mph and a spin rate in the low 2000’s. Slightly open stance at the plate and stays tall throughout. Showed a pull side approach but had a nice barrel path with some tilt in the swing. Strong lower half in the swing. Defensively, the actions are solid at 3B and there is no issue with arm strength from the hot corner. The ball really took off out of his hand.
