(20.3 mph hand speed average). Begins in an open narrow stance with a handsy load, then uses a closed small stride.

Projectable in the infield, his position velocity was registered at 74 mph; has developing feet, a natural exchange, and consistent soft hands. Fielded the ball out front with athletic developing movement laterally. Showed a high ¾ slot with consistent accuracy to the base. Solid projectable on the mound, using a short quick arm action he showed developing arm speed from a high ¾ arm angle. Used some effort in his delivery. Showed consistent balance point with in line shoulders. Lands closed with a falling off finish. Sat with his fastball at 77-78 mph; has arm side command and running sinking action. (Max spin 1816; Avg 1781). His changeup (73-74) shows arm side control and gradual fading action. Has glove side control and slurvey, tight action on his slider (69-70). (Max spin 2011; Avg 1913).
