He barreled up multiple balls with loud contact. Gap to gap approach. Capable in the outfield, his throws to the bases were maxed out at 77 mph; has a natural exchange, developing consistent feet, and developing soft hands. Movements laterally were developing and he fields the ball out front. Consistent accuracy to the bases, used a high ¾ slot and a long arm action. During the event, ran the 60-yard dash in 7.96. Capable and projectable on the mound, showed quick arm speed, also used a ¾ arm angle and a consistent arm action. Up-tempo type pitcher who uses max effort.

6-foot,165-pound right-handed pitcher, body is long and lean, with room for added weight gains. Off the mound, arm action is smooth and loose working from a natural ¾ slot. The delivery works with minimal effort. The fastball reached 73 mph, with late arm side movement, locating everything in the bottom part of the zone. The breaking ball has more slider break, clocked at 65 mph, with more velocity to come. Showed major feel for the changeup, works well off the fastball. The frame has loads of potential to add strength and mass, look for a jump at some point.
