Lanky frame with long limbs at 6-foot-5, 188 pounds.  Some strength is present.  Slightly coiled at the hips at balance, swing the front leg to a heel-toe foot strike, on-line. Shoulders remain level.  Long arm stroke with the ball turning early as it reaches a high-3/4 slot.  Some effort through the finish where the front foot will release and swing open.  Fastball sat 77-79, throwing strikes but lacking command in the zone.  Good feel for a breaking ball at 65-67 with gradual 10/4 tilt.  Spin is in the zone mimicking the fastball hand speed.  Change up is still developing, erratic with misses down in the zone, while ranging 74-78.

6-foot-5, 184 pounder has some length on his limbs.  Fastball worked 76-78 with run.  Occasional cutting action to the glove side.  High-3/4 slot from a long arm swing that reaches back at the waist line.  Stays tall and level through balance.  Front side clears a little early as the head leaves the line.  Breaking ball has a slight hump out of the hand with gradual 11/5 action.  Slowing the arm, the spinner ranged 63-68, missing to the arm side.
