6-foot, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 80-81 mph, arm side run to the pitch. The spin pitch is small in shape, sitting 72-74 mph. The changeup is a developing pitch, sitting at 69-71 mph. The delivery is online with the feet and above 3/4 in slot. The tracking of the front shoulder is solid and the arm works freely. The backside drive can be improved, as he drags the backside a bit.  Solid prospect with a good upside.
