Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Long lanky body on prototypical pitcher's build, certainly a projectable body for a rising junior pitcher, long circular arm action on backside, clean arm action, overhand slot, FB 80-83 mph, 1919 max spin, both spin and movement patterns suggest some ability to develop a sinker that can have steep late action in the zone, high 6.2 release height, CB 69-73 mph with 1864 max spin, bigger CB and can work to tighten it up or shorten it up to play off the FB, slightly lower release height vs FB release, CHG 68-72 mph with low spin which gives the pitch a chance to be a ground ball getting pitch, the body and the raw stuff are both enough to think he's got some very positive growth in his future.
