Physical: Strong, imposing football player’s frame at 6-foot-1, 250lbs featuring a thick lower half on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Operated off the far left side of the rubber using momentum-gaining pace in the delivery, controlled side rocker with rhythm into a leg-swing and quick, fluid move down the slope into footstrike. Got on top of a power H ¾ slot, creating heavy action into the zone at 83-86 mph on the FB at 2050rpms and 12.5 inches IVB (via Trackman). Strike thrower that gained leverage in advantage counts and mixed a sharp 71-73 mph SL with > 10+ inches of HM across the plate; added a fading 78-80 mph CH at 1510rpms with similar FB release out of the hand.
