6-foot-0, 215 pound left handed pitcher.  Throws from a high ¾ slot. Good tempo.  Tendency to throw across body.  His 80-84 mph fastball showed both run and cutting action at times.  He mixed in a 64-66 mph 2/8 curveball with good overall depth.  Also uses a 70-71 mph changeup.  Solid left handed pitcher that proved tough against left handed hitter in the fall league.

6-foot, 195-pound two-way prospect. Registered a 7.16 60-yard dash. Defensively, he likely projects as a corner outfielder. Uses long arm action while reaching a top velocity of 81 mph. At the plate, he starts with a closed stance. Swing gets a bit long at times which causes some bat drag. Currently a contact type hitter with some occasional pop on his bat. On the mound, the southpaw throws 83-84 mph from the stretch. His curveball is 62-64 mph with gradual 1/7 break. Shows some good depth. Changeup sits 67-69 mph with some fade.
