Good tall 6-foot-4, 195-pound thin body frame. Offensively, he begins from a wide set up, uses a fluid hands back to shoulder trigger, showed the ability to use all parts of the field nicely in his round of BP. Reached a top exit velocity of 75 mph. Ran a 4.88 out of the box. On the mound the right-handers delivery requires regular effort. He has repeatable mechanics using a straight up and down leg lift, he throws using average armspeed through a ¾ slot. His fastball showed some tailing movement at times thrown between 81-84 mph. Curveball was thrown with 11/5 tilt with some signs of being sharp and little bit of a late break at 69-72 mph. Changeup was thrown using fastball armspeed with some sink at 72-74 mph. Struck out five of nine hitters he faced.

Big, athletic 6-foot-4, 195-pound prospect. May project best as a pitcher at the next level. Fastball sat 82-85 mph through a high 3/4 arm slot. Uses long arm action with regular effort to his delivery. Attacks the zone. Breaking ball showed gradual 11/5 action at 70-72 mph. Needs to maintain arm speed on the pitch. Also used a 73 mph changeup with some fade to it. More in the tank with improved use of his lower half. In the field, he is a corner infield type. Average hands and feet. Top velocity of 78 mph across the field. At the plate, the right-handed hitter starts from a wide stance. Minimal load. Uses a short stride. Line drive production with slight uphill path. Top exit velocity of 82 mph. Ran a 7.29 60.

In the field, he moves well around the bag. Uses short arm action and shows some quickness in his transfer. Reached a top velocity of 78 mph. At the plate, he starts in a wide stance. Hands begin high before his load. Maintains balance through his swing. Solid contact. Registered a top exit velocity of 80 mph. Ran a 4.8 out of the box.
