Pitching: works slow and under control throughout the windup. Has a short and quick, catchers like, arm swing. Is able to engage his lower half as well as create a whipping motion with his arm as they work in sync.


10/19/19

Physical 5-foot-11, 175-pound right-handed hitter starts from a slightly open stance and utilizes a leg hang stride and an aggressive lower half to initiate his swing.
