6-foot, 145-pound athletic, projectable body frame. On the mound he throws with regular effort to his delivery and has a shorter stride to the plate, landing in a straight line at foot strike. Does a good job of incorporating his lower half, with his hips loading before he throws. Has some quickness to his arm speed coming from a lower ¾ slot. Has good command of a three-pitch mix. His fastball is mostly true through the zone ranging from 73-75 mph and touched 76 mph. Curveball has sort of a slider look to it with sink and signs of sharpness, projected to be a good pitch in the future with added velocity, currently thrown at 60-62 mph. Changeup is thrown with good arm speed at 68-69 mph. Had a good showing during game play striking out five of the eight hitters he faced
