Mechanics: More tall and fall delivery. Uses a medium knee tuck that works straight up and down the mound. Direction is consistently in line with home. Higher torso down the mound. Compact arm circle in the back. Shorter stride. H ¾ slot. Pulls glove hand tight. Release is early in the action for more shorter extension numbers.
FB: Located it more armside. Above-average movement characteristics as it flashed 23.1 vertical break max and 17.4 inch horizontal break max. That movement makes it real hard for hitters to square up.
CB: Present HB break at around 6 inches gives it some more slurvy break. Consistent slot and armspeed as FB.
