Begins in a balanced tall stance with a controlled compact load, then uses a small leg kick. Bat speed was efficient, displayed a loose level swing plane and high finish. Solid while in the infield, made throws up to 67 mph; has a clean exchange, choppy feet, and firm hands. Movements laterally were athletic and he fields the ball out front. Showed a high ¾ slot with a loose arm action. On the mound, showed consistent arm speed, he had a loose arm action and a high ¾ arm angle. Tall-and-fall type pitcher and uses easy effort. Threw his fastball 69-70 mph. Had slight running action. (Max spin ; Avg ). Had slurvey action on his 11/5 curveball (60-62). (Max spin ; Avg ). He had slight action on his changeup (60-63).

Ball comes out of a 3/4 slot and is very easy out of the hand. Fastball has regular artm side action and he complements heater with a slurvish breaking ball that shows signs of sharpness. Completing his arsenal is a changeup that was very impressive at times. Definite arm to keep an eye one.
