Average frame with room to add strength, standing 5-foot-10, 150 pounds.  Strike thrower.  Starts slightly side-saddled with a small rocker and easy lift to the lower chest.  Slightly coiled and closed at balance.  Long arm swing with looseness to the top.  Fights for his slot as the front side clears, working from a high-3/4 release.  Decent athlete, did repeat the delivery.  Fastball sat 74-77 with spin rates ranging 1825-2024 rpm.  Good change-up with run as it enters the hitting zone.  Hand speed creates good deception.  Change sat 66-68.  Spin rates ranged 1160-1365 rpm on the change-up.  Breaking ball tends to roll out of the hand with early, gradual 2/8 tilt.  Tends to slow the arm at times.  Curveball sat 58-61 while spinning at 1737–1816 rpm.
