Projectable 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame with proportional athleticism scattered throughout. Ranked 150th in Missouri’s senior class and also committed to pitch at Lindenwood University (MO). Starts from the third base side of the rubber and initiates motion with a quick side step that funnels into an athletic downhill hip turn. Drop/drive type delivery, front side stays closed until footstrike, works in line to target with an athletic finish through release. Clean all-around operation, maintains a smooth rhythm. Long arm action, high ¾ slot. Fastball sat at 81-85 mph, created some downhill plane from an elevated release angle, pumped strikes at the knees. Changeup plays at 68-72 mph, thrown with near fastball arm speed, stayed elevated. Threw both a curveball and slider. The former flashed sharp spin off a 1/7 plane, clocked in at 68-72 mph. Latter was thrown with a tighter shape and wrinkle to it, more bullet spin at 72-75 mph. Both breaking balls were thrown with fastball intent and conviction. Brings intriguing future upside to the mound.
