Athletic frame with long arms. Works to an over-the-top slot. Early in the outing there was whip with elite arm speed through the release. Occasionally cut the fastball when going to the glove side. Fastball at 85-88, jumping on hitters at times. Top to bottom breaking ball has a chance to be sharp, with depth. Struggled to land it on this day, but the makings of a potential out pitch are present.
