Sturdy 5-foot-11, 210-pound frame; strong shoulders and lower half. Took the mound for the Rangers’ 2024 club on Saturday night and showed some of the louder stuff we saw from the 2024 bracket. Pumped his fastball in the mid-to-high-80s, touching 88 mph a few times early on with life down in the zone. Spun a few low-70s curveballs with conviction that flashed swing-and-miss spin off an 11/5 plane. A follow uncommitted arm from the Kansas City area in the Missouri 2024 class.
