6-foot-3 190-pounds, uncommitted, long lengthy frame, high waisted with broad shoulders, strength & some durability to build off. Shows some stiffness to a simple delivery with strong upper body. Maintains some back foot connection as his pelvis opens slightly coming down the mound. Throws with long arm action from a higher slot and release with good forward truck tilt & extension out front. His FB worked 85-87mph with arm side movement, topping out at 88mph via Trackman which was the top velocity of the day. Shows some feel for the off-speed, mixing in a 12/6 CV at 69-70mph & a CH with sink/run at 77-80mph. As he gains more experience and fluidity through his delivery, we wouldn't be surprised to see some jumps in the future.
