Body Type: 6-foot 185-pound prospect with a strong build. Mechanical/Delivery Notes: Works in-line with good rhythm and an efficient lower half. Uses a short arm action working out of a ¾ slot. Fastball: 81-83 mph fastball is easy out of the hand with plus run and sink to the arm side. Curveball: 70-72 mph curveball works well off the fastball. The pitch has tight spin and a sharp 1/7 break. Changeup: 75-78 mph changeup is thrown with deceptive arm action. The pitch has late fading action. Pitchability: Showed ability to locate the fastball and throw both secondary pitches for strikes. Off-speed works well off the fastball with the breaking ball likely to be a future plus pitch. Role: Too early to tell. Stuff says starter, although just a year removed from TJ, we’ll have to see how durable he is moving forward.
