Physical: Long, lengthy/projectable 6-foot-2, 165lb frame with a tall presence showing high intent down the mound on the front-side.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the middle of the rubber with a slow side rocker, lifting into a low-legged stack position before driving out towards the plate. Slight funk to the delivery, getting out over a stiff front leg at a shorter stride length; released immediately from a high ¾, quick slot creating arm-side run. FB ranged from 78-79 mph for strikes, holding the zone at a 55% clip via Trackman Baseball. Mixed a sharp-two plane 66-68 mph breaker flashing up to 2400+ spin and takes off across the plate at times. A good 72-74 mph CH kept hitters grounded, and killed spin at 1485rpms for occasional swing/miss.

Physical: Lengthy / high-waisted 6-foot-2, 154-pound frame with projectability in the build. Pitching: RHP - Started from the middle of the rubber with a pause at the side rocker step, medium leg lift with hip coil around the backside; average tempo in the delivery while landing athletically with a moderate posture, got over the front side at release through a high ¾ slot. FB ranged from 79-80 T81 mph with a peak of 1963 spin per Trackman Baseball, mixed in a tight 2379 rpm CB with 11/5 tilt and swing and miss shape to it, should project as an out pitch moving forward, the CH at 74-75 could use a little refinement, but can easily be a part of his arsenal moving forward.
