An intriguing 6-foot-2, 195-pound build that has room to add strength. Pitched with a little stiffness in the delivery that improved significantly when utilizing a slide step and quicker tempo. Slight pause in the arm action at the bottom of the circle allowed his body to gather. Fastball 83-85. Curveball was 64-67 and acted as more of an offspeed pitch to get hitters off his fastball. Was able to pitch off his fastball.
