6-foot-2, 175-pound, long, super athletic frame. The shoulders are squared off, back is wide, is a well proportioned athlete, has room to fill out. A right-handed pitcher, shows to have an athletic delivery, hands start and stay at mid stomach, leg raise is smooth, lead foot gets tied in a bit, then kicks out, which gets the direction across his body, could be more direct. The stride length is long, gets great extension on release of the baseball. The lead arm glove side, is strong and stays tight to the body The arm action has average length to it, works out of a high ¾ slot, pitches to the glove side, baseball has action to the armside. The fastball was clocked at 77-80 mph, worked it down in the zone. The breaking ball has more horizontal break, clocked at 67-69 mph, shows potential to be an out pitch, has deception to it, with lower half across the body.  Changeup has feel for it, thrown for strikes with fade to the armside, clocked 70-72 mph, it's an above average pitch for his age. Look for the velocity to climb with strength and a regimented throwing program.  Good looking prospect, look for good things from this one.
