Thin and lanky at 6-foot-3, 140 pounds. Frame is still maturing and will handle a lot of strength games in the coming years. Slight coil at balance, working to stay tall with some rhythm. Level, lands on-line and square. Slight fall to the 3B side. Easy effort with a long, loose arm swing to a ¾ slot. Early, heavy arm side run to the arm side on the fastball at 76-83. Breaking ball works with a sweepy 2/7 arc at 64-68. Good arm speed on the breaking ball. Flashed a change-up at 74. Lots to like as the long frame continues to mature.
