5-foot-10, 160-pound left-handed pitcher. He is a good looking arm, his best days are in front of him. The delivery is solid in tempo and he repeats the direction. The arm is very quick as you should see a spike in velocity in the next year. The slot is slightly above 3/4. The fastball sat 83-84 mph with plenty of arm side run to it. The spin pitch was a slider at 70-71 mph. The slider shape is almost there, a small tweak to shorten it down and it will be a plus pitch. The changeup was 73-75 mph and showed minimal fade. Good looking arm.
