2.19.17 - 6-foot, 165-pound left-handed pitcher. Works from a high ¾ arm angle with a long arm action. Drop and drive delivery working in line with home plate. Smooth delivery with a square landing and regular effort. Showed feel for three pitches for strikes. Fastball has slight running action at 81-84 mph. Curveball has 1-7 shape, flashing occasional depth at 70-73 mph. Maintained arm speed on changeup at 76-78 mph with running action.

1.17.16 - Well-proportioned 6-foot, 155-pound left-handed pitcher. Clean and repeatable delivery with feel for three pitches. Long and loose arm action out of a ¾ window. Easy effort, on-line direction, square landing, and athletic finish. Flashed a plus changeup with arm speed, feel and sink clocked at 69-71 mph. Fastball, thrown for strikes, some arm-side-run, sat 79-81 mph. Curveball worked 1/7 shape with some depth. First two curveballs were thrown at 71-72 mph but settled in more at 63-64 mph the rest of the bullpen. Should be a close follow in the 2018 class.
