Physical: Compact, even proportioned 5-foot-8, 155lb frame with some feel in the movements.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the far left side of the rubber with a short side rocker step into a medium leg lift at waist height; got down the mound with rhythm, whip in the arm at a low ¾ slot with some funk to the backside of the delivery. Got on top of hitters, working 77-79 mph with consistent arm-side run/sink down into the hands of RHH (17 inches HM, 1968rpms) and added a sharp 67-69 mph SL across the plate out of the same window (10 inches of HM, sweep). Countered with a solid third offering; a commanded 72-74 mph CH finding the zone at a 100% clip (ability to throw for strikes).
