At 6-foot-1, 170 pounds with some length in his build, the fastball sat 78-81 and filled the zone.  Working with a short arm swing, high-3/4 slot and level shoulders, the breaking ball was his best pitch, ranging 67-70 with late 10/4 tilt and flooding the zone.  The change is a distant 3rd pitch topping at 73.  From the infield, flashes athletic actions with clean, fluid exchanges to a longer arm action.  Loose and lacked some accuracy but showed carry and a positional velocity of 74.   Offensively, it is an aggressive approach that showed barrel awareness, while being long at times.  The bat speed plays as average to above, using a gap-to-gap approach.  Exit velocity measured at 84mph.  Sixty timed at 7.26.
