On the bump the right handed hurler with long limbs has a repeatable delivery requiring regular effort. Arm  action is long with extension on the backside. Works across his body at times creating a crossfire action. Directionally sound down the mound before finishing square toward home plate. Uses a ¾ slot that will sometimes drop a little lower. Fastball works well to both sides of the plate at 68-72 mph. Slurvy type offspeed pitch with gradual break at 59-61 mph. Two-way prospect. Starts in a taller setup before getting into his double tap load with lower half. Hands stay simple prior to accelerating the barrel through the zone on a slightly downhill path. Contact type hitter with line drive abilities. Swing has a balanced combination of strength and speed through the zone. A third baseman that uses short, quick footwork in his approach. Plays low, fielding the ball out in front of his body with adequate ball skills. Skill set is on par for class. A bit undersized for the typical first baseman but makes up for it with athleticism and ball skills. Moves off the bag with ease and can make plays in funnel and on the move. Solid defender.
