Pitching- methodical, rhythmic start to delivery into an athletic balance point. Drives down the mound by dropping down on balance leg, creating some lower half explosiveness. Finishes closed and finishes toward the third base side with some effort on release. Short arm action with a stab on the backside. High-3/4 release with some armside run. Shows some efficacy with breaking ball spin 2257 average rpm, more of a 2/8s slurvy tilt to it (-7.0 IVB, 18.3 HM).
FB: 82-84 w/ armside run
CB: 66-69 2/8

Physical- Lean, athletic 5-foot-10, 160lbs frame.
Pitching- Starts on the third base side of the rubber before using a quick, short side step to get in to his uptempo delivery. Hands start and stay at his chest through his move to the plate, dips into his backside in sync with his hands break. Drives off the back leg well and throws into a firm front side. Quick arm that is a bit stabby out of the glove, works to an over the top slot.
FB: 80-82, arm side run
CB: 62-65, 2/8 shape
