6-foot-3, 185 pound right-handed pitcher who also plays third base.  Defensively, shows plus athleticism at the hot corner with plenty of carry and strength to his throws. The glove is solid and he has plus foot speed. Can handle the ball in both directions and make the slow roller play. One the mound, he is raw but very interesting. The arm works well out of a ¾ slot and the delivery is deliberate and under control. Showed a fastball in the low 80’s and the makings of a plus slurve pitch. At the plate, he hits left-handed with looseness to his swing. The barrel needs to be flattened through the zone to improve contact ratio. I like the projection at both spots.
