The 6-foot-3, 245-pound big bodied hurler uses an average tempo delivery with above average effort.Good rhythm throughout his delivery.. Uses a shorter arm action through a high ¾ arm slot. Fastball ranges 85-86 mph. Curveball was thrown tight with an 11/5 action at 71-73 mph. At the plate he has more than enough strength and batspeed as he showed by registering an exit velocity of 101 mph. Would like to see him add rhythm to his loading sequence to be more consistency and under control during game action. In the infield he has some quickness to his feet and confidence in his glove. Solid lateral mobility for his frame. Threw across the infield with impressive, 85 mph arm strength.

6-foot-3, 250-pound big body build. On the mound he uses good rhythm with a high leg kick in the stretch. Shows good direction to the plate, landing on line at foot strike. Throws from a short back arm action into a high ¾ slot with average arm speed. Four pitch mix with the fastball sitting 79-83 mph. Throws two breaking balls, one with a 12/6 tilt at 64-67 mph, the other has a tighter rotation and more of an 11/5 tilt at 70-72 mph. Changeup sat 70-71 mph with near fastball arm speed. At the plate he has some things to clean up mechanically but the strength and batspeed is obvious. Creates energy into contact through a leg kick load and aggressive stride. Takes a slightly uphill path to the ball. Registered a very impressive exit velocity of 101 mph. Moves well for his size at third base. Above average hands with the ability to make plays on the moves. Would like to see him play lower.
