A right-handed pitching prospect in the 2020 class. Delivery has a slower pace to it prior to speeding up as he accelerates arm. Does a nice job of creating energy and direction with his lower half. Arm moves through a high-3/4 slot with above average arm speed. Throws all of his pitches with intent and should see velo increases as he adds strength with maturity. Fastball will run and show sink at times, sitting 73-75 mph. Tends to slow arm a bit on his 10/4 shaped breaking ball. The pitch has sweeping action to it with gradual break at 55-60 mph. Also spins a 65-68 mph slider which looks to be the better of the two offerings. Tosses the offering much firmer than breaking ball, giving it depth and sharp action across the plate. Also flashed a changeup that had similar action to his fastball at 69-71 mph.

A right-handed hitter that starts in an athletic setup. Loading sequence is fluid, using a leg kick for timing. Hands move back before taking a level path to the baseball. A contact type guy that has feel for the barrel. Does nice job of staying within himself and working the the middle of the field. Natural tools are developing. In the infield he plays with fluidity, remaining under control. Moves well laterally and plays with soft hands. Ball skills are developing. On the mound the right-hander has good pace to his repeatable delivery. Uses an easy leg lift, staying tall at balance point. Lands in line to home plate with his momentum taking him to the first base line at finish. Fastball showed slight run at times, but mostly stayed true through the zone. Complements his fastball with an 11/5 shaped breaking ball. The pitch has gradual break and was consistently in the zone. Did a nice job of mixing his pitches and keeping hitters off balance.
