6-foot-2, 195-pound. Right-handed pitching prospect with a strong frame. Only worked from the stretch. Delivery is smooth and repeatable with a drop and drive type lower half. Clean arm path working from a ¾ slot. Fastball sat 83-85 with cutting action to the glove side of the plate. Best secondary offering is a sharp 10/4 slider that has swing and miss quality at 71-75 MPH. Also offered a 75-76 MPH changeup, the pitch has some cutting action down in the zone.

6-foot-2, 188-pound prospect with tall, physical frame. Bit on the raw side at present, but natural tools that figure to play at DI/DII level. Throws exclusively from stretch. Short arm action and it comes out easy. Fastball is mostly straight with occasional arm side run at 83-86 mph. Shows some command issues at times. Lacks command of changeup, which typically sits 77-79 mph. Showed one that had effective arm side fade. Slider has sweeping movement across the zone at 73-75 mph. Tends to slow down arm action, but best off-speed pitch at present.
