Positional Profile: RHP Body: 5-9, 185-pounds. Broad, muscular build. Delivery: Upright set position, hands at belly button, hips and shoulder flat and relaxed. Leg kick goes to 90 degrees hip high before, stacking low into his drive to the plate. Arm Action: RH. Long arm swing down and back away from his body, the ball is exposed briefly behind his head before rotating into a reasonably high arm slot. FB: T82, 79-81 mph. Has late run and can occasionally get his spin rate above 2000. CB: 62-66 mph. His CB is thrown with the same energy as his FB but can be 15-20 mph slower. As he develops his CB spin and power, effectiveness will sky rocket as it already has great movement and depth. SL: 67-69 mph. Uses in combination with his curveball. It comes from the same release point with a later tighter break.
