6-foot-3, 175-pound right handed pitcher. On the mound, simple balanced delivery, ball comes out clean with some life, ability to pound the strike zone with fastball. Good direction to home. Tends to over throw breaking ball at times and leave up in zone. Fastball was straight with command to both sides. Showed inconsistent command with breaking ball with sharp break. Changeup was average pitch down in zone. Overall nice pitcher with projection, arms works with looseness, competitive on mound, and has ability to throw strikes. With physical progression has chance to really develop at the college level. Fastball 81-84. Curveball 74-75. Changeup was 74-76.
