True Sophomore. 5-foot-10, 185-pounds. The southpaw displayed above-average feel for four pitches throughout his ‘pen. His fastball sat 80-81 mph, sinking slightly to his arm-side. Curveball sat 69-70 mph, playing off a tight 1/7 shape. The slider sat 70-71 mph with more 2/8 shape and less depth than his curveball. His final offering was a changeup at 75-76 mph, kept mostly down with fading action to his arm-side.
