True Sophomore. The right-hander provided a tough look for would-be hitters throughout his ‘pen on Monday. Standing 6-foot-4, 213-pounds and coming from a low ¾ release, the right-hander topped his fastball out at 84 mph, sitting right at 83 mph throughout his ‘pen. He went to a short horizontal slider at 74-77 mph (T2288 RPM), backing up on him at times but flashing short bullet action. His final offering was a fading changeup at 71-75 mph.
