6-foot-4, 240-pound, athletic and mature, already filling out, shows to have strength throughout, lower half is very strong and durable. Projectable on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a loose arm action while showing quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall type pitcher who shows easy effort. Showed strong balance point and in line shoulders. Lands square with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 80-83 mph; shows hard action and very consistent command with heavy movement. Threw his 2/8 slider with command low in the zone and late action, clocked at 74-76 mph, chance to be an above average pitch. The delivery works with ease, with having suck a large frame at a young age. Look for a significant jump in velocity at some point.

6-foot-4, 240-pound, strong, large, wide athletic frame, already filling out, extremely physical for a 2024. A right-handed hitting two-way player, at the plate, shows plus power. The stance is balanced, feet are even at shoulder width, ands are held higher, with bat tilt. The lower half is under control, minimal pickup and put down, could gain a bit more ground, will create more power to all fields. The approach is more middle to pull side, showing hard contact, having enough pop to gaps. The exit velocity was clocked at 85 mph. Defensively, has a big arm across he diamond, clocked at 79 mph. The arm action is long and whippy, working with minimal effort from a 3/4 slot. The feet are quick get off the blocks quickly, moving well to glove side on the double play starts. Off the mound, pounded the zone, with a heavy two-pitch mix. The was up to 79 mph, a heavy ball with riding life to it. Threw a slider at 71 mph, showing good hand speed to it, later depth to it. The delivery is repeatable, a hybrid start. The lift is athletic, landing slightly across the body. The arm action is long and clean on the backside, working from a higher slot. Lean and tilt at times, could track a tick longer. The arm is powerful, look for him to be a guy off the mound at some point, big follow for me.
Exit Velocity: 85 mph
Arm Velocity: 79 mph
