Physical: 5-foot-10, 155 pounds; slender, athletic build.

Short clean arm action, standard 3/4 arm slot. FB: Peak velo of 78 MPH, while sitting 74-77 MPH. Some carry & will get some natural cut at times. CB: 68-70 MPH. 2-8 rotation, more horizontal movement than depth. CH: 71-74 MPH. Will have some arm side run at times.
