On the mound, the delivery was balanced. He gathered well before separating the hands and heading down the mound. The direction was good and the arm was quick. The fastball was 75-78 mph, out of an over the top arm slot. His breaking ball was a good pitch at 67-68 mph. It was a big breaking pitch, with tight action.
