Physical: Projectable, durable 6-foot, 186lb frame with pitchability traits.
Pitching: RHP. Started off the left side, utilizing slower developing pace down the slope with late intent at release. Violent hip-shoulder separation from a quick drop/drive move on the rear hip, producing a shorter H ¾ slot on the front side. Held 79-82 mph with success down in the zone, adding a sharp 69-72 mph CB that flashed sweep across the plate. Took some off on a fading 75-76 mph CH, killing spin.
