Southpaw with an athletic body. Fastball sat 75-77 mph early, T78 mph before settling into a 72-74 mph zone. Plays with hard arm side run. Maintained similar arm speed when spinning his breaking ball, which sat 62-64 mph and played 2/8 shape and late depth. Showed confidence in his breaking ball by throwing it in all counts. Generated a bunch of weak contact on the day.
