Long athletic body at 6-foot-1, 181-pounds. Athletic slightly closed stance with a knee to knee leg kick, landing closed at stride. Load has some violence to it with a low hand load and arm bar proceeding to dive in to the plate. Pull side tendency with intent to do damage when he swings. Slightly uphill path with a high finish and an exit velo of 89 mph showing some power potential. Home-to-first time was 4.79. Got out of the crouch quick with a low exchange and average arm action. Showed some arm speed and threw from a high three-quarter arm slot at 74 mph. Throws showed some carry with pops ranging 2.06 - 2.14. Right handed pitcher with a low effort delivery. Balance point is a bit rushed as tends to drift towards home plate before getting to a consistent leg lift. Lands closed off, short arm action, and throws from an over the top arm slot. Fastball was 75-77 and topped at 79 mph. Curveball had depth with a 12/6 shape at 61-64 mph. Changeup lacked arm speed, but showed an average feel for it at 63-65 mph.
