Listed at 5-foot-11, 159-pounds with a wiry and projectable frame. The right-hander has a high-spinning fastball, averaging over 2,400 RPM and sitting 83-84 mph (T27.7 IVB). His changeup sat 69-74 mph, fading over 15” to his arm-side with a max IVB of 21.9. His final offering was a splitter at 68-71 mph, killing spin and fading to the bottom of the zone with some feel.

Positional Profile: RHP/OF
