Crafty RHP with a slight but strong frame, 6-foot-0 160 pounds. Uses his body as well as he can without much weight behind the ball. Has a solidified 4 pitch mix; most comfortable with his FB, but has a 11-5 CB that he will go to. Missed up with the CB times. His deception and FB control leads to a lot of awkward swings. Loaded up stance at the plate with weight over back leg; stays behind the ball with a short, on-plane stroke.
