RHP Strong proportioned body strength on a good frame that can continue to add strength. Has good range of motion to shoulder. Starts from the middle of rubber with short slide to left that leads into a high glove separation. Has an OH delivery that initiates when his head looks down to ground on start of motion. The target, while in start of his delivery, will be picked up late by his eyes, creates slight command and inline follow through issues. All fully correctable and will enhance the outcome of his stuff in future as he corrects this. Good promise to his pitching as good strength and feel is present. Quarter turn leg tuck allows his balance to correct. FB has some depth and CB has slow spin with accuracy. Straight change with late fade. FB 83-84, CB 72-76, CH 74-78.
