6-foot-4, 205-pound. Solid confident on the mound, showed quick consistent arm speed with a short compact arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Drop-and-drive type pitcher and uses high effort. Balance point is tall with an even in line shoulders during delivery. Lands square with recoil clean finish. Sat with his fastball at 77-79 mph and topped out at 80 mph; showed glove side decent control. (Max spin 2012; Avg 1777). Shows late fading action and occasional command on his heavy changeup (72-73).

Physical and projectable 6’4” 205 lbs. frame. Threw exclusively out of the stretch in the middle of the rubber. Slow leg lift with good lower half rotation landing with hips and shoulders square to home plate. Short and quick arm action with a high ¾ release produced a max FB velocity of 80 mph, sitting 77-79 mph. Velo should tick up this spring. Average spin rate of 1793 RPM on the FB. CB was near “12-6” in shape, sitting 61-63 mph, with average spin and depth. CH is still a developing pitch at 71-72 mph. Interesting follow in the 2023 class on the mound.
