Bay Area World Series 2022 - Uncommitted; Big broad body type at 6-foot-3 225-lbs, strong and durable type frame, has a solid outing at BAWS with flash of stuff and attacking approach on mound, FB max 87.8 mph, spin maxed at 2248, ability to keep the ball on plane with fairly average horizontal movement, did get after hitters with the FB, SL 68-72 mph, 2073 max spin, slightly lower release height than the FB (SL 5.2 FB 5.6), feels like there is plenty of arm strength there to see him get to 90 or maybe above in due time, delivery is mostly an upper body delivery of the baseball with lower body seemingly not quite exuding all the power his body looks to have. In any case he's one to keep an eye on because with some feel for the zone and some hints of stuff he's a better breaking ball away from being a 2023 pitcher to know.
