Average build with some length at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds.  84 mph across the infield showing life and carry with a need for improved accuracy.  Works with effort through the catch and is cautious through the exchange to a long arm arc.  Left handed hitter starts balanced, using a leg kick and aggressive stride.  Wants extension and has a pull emphasis while getting to the front side early at times.  Average barrel awareness with exit velocity reaching 86 mph off the barrel.  Ran a 7.77 sixty.

On the mound the righty worked 81-83 with occasional run and an aggressive demeanor.  Above average arm speed from a high-3/4 slot and long arm swing.  Some effort as the head clears the line early to open the slot.  Starts with a large rocker step to the side, swinging his leg up to coil the lower half.  Choppy rhythm, staying level through the shoulders and landing on-line.  Breaking ball works with 12/6 arc at 60-65.  Gradual tilt, with a slight hump out of the hand.  Arm works near the fastball hand speed, slowing at times.  Showed a feel for the zone with the breaking ball.  Change worked 73-77, with deception, while missing down consistently.
