True freshman. 6-foot-3, 185-pounds with a projectable frame. The southpaw impressed with his four-pitch arsenal, starting with his 85-86 mph fastball that reached up to 20” of horizontal run and a max IVB of 17.1. His slider looked to be his best off-speed offering, playing with 2/8 shape (T2468 RPM) at 70-72 mph and controlling it around the zone. His curveball sat 63-68 mph, playing with 1/7 shape and reaching just under 2,400 RPM, struggling to locate and missing up in the zone. His final offering was a changeup at 79-80 mph that faded heavily to his arm-side (20” max HM).
