Athletic with length in his limbs at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds.  Fastball touched 87, sitting 83-85.  Heavy, the fastball was around the zone creating some issues for hitters.  Breaking ball has hard, late slider shape at 70-73.  As depth continues to develop it is a potential out pitch.  Level, works to find a rhythm in the delivery.  High leg kick with some stiffness as the foot works outside the knee on the lift.  Counts on his athleticism to take over and repeat.  Some effort at release, working to be aggressive.  Long, loose arm swing to an over-the-top slot.  Head clears the line creating a bigger window for hitters.  Backside is very aggressive and hips fire through the pitch completely.  

Hits from the left side using an open setup.  Smooth load with a short stride.  Gets his lower half through the ball with good balance.  Fluid swing with above average bat speed.  Barrel works uphill with a pull type approach.  Shows ability to drive the ball during batting practice.  Exit velocity recorded at 88 mph.  Plays through balls on the infield with fluid feet and average hands.  Clean exchanges leading to a longer arm action.  Accurate arm across the diamond peaking at 80 mph.  Showed good game swing, with feel for his barrel and extension through the zone, driving the ball.  Recorded a 7.13 in the 60-yard dash.
