5-foot-11, 195 pounds with a solid strong frame.  In the field, he displays some softness in hands and above average footwork.  Quick release.  Showed accuracy in throws across the diamond.  At the plate, the right handed hitter uses a straight on stance with short stride.  Shows some rhythm in swing.  Level swing path.  Linedrive hitter that occasionally can drive the ball into the gaps.  On the mound, he throws through a 3/4 arm slot with short arm action.  Slow tempo.  Easy effort delivery.  Fastball sat 80-82 mph.  Did also offer a high 70’s fastball as he dropped down to a sideam slot.  Also mixed in a 66-68 mph, 11/5 curveball that showed some sharpness.
