Body: 6-4, 225 pounds. Larger frame. Sturdy build with some strength in the lower half.
Mechanics: Athletic delivery. Compact arm action that comes out of a side arm slot. Sinks into backleg. Stays in good direction toward home. Gets good rotational energy. Wraps around front leg at finish. Only gave up 2H in game action.
FB: Tons of horizontal movement with minimal vertical gives it some present ASR. Pounded the zone with it. Good coming back on the outside and in on RHHs.
SL: Sweeping slider with minimal vertical break. Everyone of them was thrown for a strike. Pairs well with his FB that has armside HB break.
