Event: NorCal Uncommitted Games – showing pushed him into the rankings Body: 5-11, 185-pounds. Physical build, muscularity throughout, powerful look to lower body.

CH: 75-77 mph, 1620 avg spin; Feel for release, comes out of hand cleanly, showed feel for zone with ability to present CHG as a FB with similar release height, both horizontal movement and IVB are similar to the FB, takes enough spin off to create a heavy bottom of zone CHG.
