Uncommitted. 6-foot, 180-pound frame with room to add strength. Popovich showed some loud stuff in his inning of work out of the pen. The left-hander operates from a simple delivery with a high leg lift while having a drop/drive approach. Long, loose, easy arm action from a ¾ slot. His fastball sat 81-84 mph. Popovich mixed in a slider that sat 69-72 mph with late actions. An interesting 2026 arm to keep an eye on.

Easy moving body on the mound with room to build muscle. Works with a long, ¾ arm slot that is repeatable. Fastball was 72-74 mph, T75 mph which worked nicely with a deceptive upper-60’s slider. An occasional changeup at 67 mph was also used against right-handed hitters.
