Low leg kick and medium arm swing work from a slow to quick temp on the mound.  ¾ release with some hand speed.  Stable head.  Fastball 78-80 and attacked the zone.  Lands slightly across his line with a square toe.  Average back side action.   Breaking ball sat 70-72 with 11/5 tilt, using similar hand speed to that of fastball.  Change-up has fade and sink at 73-76.  Aggressive with the change, showed feel.  Athletic presence and clean arm action.  Attacked the zone with all three.

Quickness and athleticism are present in an average build at 5-foot-10, 145 pounds.  Plenty of maturation to come.  Ran a 7.03 sixty and should improve the time with continued strength gains in the coming years.  Good rhythm between the feet and hands on the infield.  Works to play through the ball, occasionally catching the ball deep in his stance.  Quick, clean transitions to the right hip, separating to a high-3/4 slot.  Can adjust arm swing and slotting based on the play and the rhythm with his footwork.  Easy release and good carry at 81 mph out of the hand.  Finishes through the bag with accurate throws.  Right handed hitter is tall with a vertical bat.  Small weight shift back and short stride working to average bat speed and short path.  Consistent contact to the pull side, producing line drives.  Good rhythm throughout the swing.  Exit velocity peaked at 78 mph.
On the mound he pounded the down zone with hard arm-side run to the fastball at 78-81.  A high ceiling may exist with the fastball that works from a quick arm and seems to jump out of the hand.  Breaking ball flashed the potential to miss bats in the bullpen setting at 67-70 with late 10/4 tilt.  Tunneling with the fastball there is deception.  Has feel for the zone with spin.  Change-up sat 74-75, again showing signs of deception in its release and tunnel.  Pounded the down zone again with the change.  Easy, repeatable delivery and release.  Stable head on easy turn to balance with an average leg kick.  Long, loose arm swing to a high-3/4 slot.  Lands just slightly across his line with a slightly closed front foot.  Good extension.

Fastball ranged 72-73, touching 75.  Breaking ball worked 59-61 with slight action.  Change-up is straight working with good hand speed at 66-69.  Some rhythm in the delivery working level and on-line.  High-3/4 slot, from a strong arm swing, working to stay tall through balance.  Good head stability.  Shows an ability to repeat the delivery.
