St. Louis commit. Durable frame, standing 5-foot-11, 180-pounds with a wide-shouldered build. Fluid moving delivery down the mound that produced a fastball at 82-84 mph, running naturally through the zone to the arm-side. His slider worked at 70-71 mph off a 2/8 plane, sweeping through the zone with sharp action at times. Settled in nicely after the first inning, bulldog mentality on the mound.
