The approach is more the pull side, cuts across at times, could stay through it longer, creating a more middle approach. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 76 mph and ran a 7.84 sixty-yard dash. Defensively, arm was clocked at 76 mph, arm action is longer and clean on the back side, working out of a higher slot.
