5-foot-9, 125-pound lean athletic frame. Solid makeup on the mound, showed some decent arm speed, also used a high ¾ arm angle and a consistent arm action. Slow-tempo type delivery using easy effort. In line shoulders and a tall balance point. Displayed a clean finish, and the changeup (51-52 mph) tumbled well off the fastball. The fastball sat 68-69 mph and topped out at 70 mph; has very consistent control and running action on the pitch. Featured a sharp curveball (57-61) with glove side command and some solid action. Smooth, easy operation with clean mechanics.
