5-foot-11, 130-pound right-handed pitcher, slim, lean build. Long arm action, over-the-top slot, some stab on the back-side, keeps arm moving in a continuous action. Drop and drive delivery, works on-line, lands toe-closed, finishes with a soft crossover and some recoil. Fastball sat 77-79, mostly straight. Curveball, 12/6 action, 60-62, made it difficult for a batters to stay back on given the difference in velocity. Changeup came in at 70-71, some sink. Challenged hitters with a high volume of strikes. Struck out two of the four batters he faced, forced a ground ball that should have ended his inning, but resulted in an error by the second baseman.
