6-foot, 170-pound athletic lean build. Advanced on the mound, used a high ¾ arm angle and a loose clean arm action while showing quick arm speed. Tall-and-fall up-tempo type pitcher and shows easy effort. Balance is tall point with an in line shoulders in his delivery. Lands square with an athletic finish. Sat with his fastball at 78-82 mph; had both sides of the plate control and sinking hard action with heavy movement. (Max spin 1983; Avg 1762). Threw a 1/7 slider (67-71) that showed slurvey late action and down in the zone command. (Max spin 2062; Avg 1917). Threw the baseball very well at this event, comes out of the hand with ease, a quick arm right-hander.

6-foot, 170-pound, athletic, lean frame, room for added weight gains. An athlete, body and movements work with easy effort. A right-handed pitcher, delivery is smooth, repeats it, the lift is is athletic with coil at its peak. The directions is inline, stride has length to it. The arm action is loose and whippy, working out of a natural 3/4 slot. The fastball reached 80 mph, late life to it, locates down in the zone, with arm side run to it. Look for a jump at some point. The slider shows proper spin and shape to it, later break with depth to it. The arm action is very clean, look for him to develop a solid changeup at some point. Good looking arm in the 2023 class.
