Making his first appearance in the GPSL, the athletic 6-foot, 180-pound right-hander showed low-spin and tough to hit stuff across the board. With a quick arm and the ball coming out of his sleeve for good deception, he ran his fastball up to 93 mph with spin rates in the 1775-1950 range. His best pitch was a plus split-grip changeup, tumbling at the plate with an 1100 spin rate. He also mixed in a spiked slider with hard bite in the low-80s.
