Scouting Notes: Moves well on the mound. Compact, lefty arm action that comes at hitters fast. Fastball has regular run/sink through the zone. Changeup has good sell with near fastball arm speed. The pitch has similar action to fastball with a bit more sink. Breaking ball has big, 1/7 action through the zone with gradual break to it. Changeup appears to be primary secondary offering at this stage. Expect more velocity to come with maturity. Fastball:72-75mph. Fastball Spin Rate: 1261-1553rpm. Breaking Ball: 55-56mph. Breaking Ball Spin Rate: 1287-1378rpm. Changeup: 61-64mph.
