Physical: Lean, high-waisted 6-foot, 155-pound with plenty of projectability and athleticism present.
Pitching: RHP - Demonstrated high level feel of two pitches on the mound utilizing a controlled tempo in the delivery where he gets into the legs extremely well, releasing from a loose, high ¾ arm-slot. FB worked low in the zone at the knees at 77-80 mph mixing in advanced feel for a 64-66 mph CB showing 11/5 as the out pitch. Could add a CH to the arsenal in the future to give the FB more life in the zone; velocity should be expected in the near future as he continues filling out.
