Physical: Lean and athletic, high waisted 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame with an obvious next level starter’s build and an innate feel for what he’s doing on the bump. Maryland commit.
Pitching: RHP - Slow tempo in the delivery with repeatability and a whip-like, high ¾ power arm-slot coming at you showing a present downhill plane at 87-89 T90 mph on the FB. Mixed two different-shaped breaking balls; a quality 71-73 mph CB with two plane action and 2427 spin as well as a harder 76-78 mph slider with short horizontal bite late at the plate and 2372 spin per Trackman Baseball. Dropped in an occasional 75-77 mph CH with adequate feel and higher than average spin. Three pitches in the zone with advanced feel for each, and should be counted on to slot in as a conference starter down the line at the next level.
