6-foot-1, 180-pound, longer, wider, athletic frame, has room to fill out, should be pretty physical at some point. A two-way player, worked out at third base and off the mound. This right-handers delivery has tempo and builds momentum down the mound. The arm is clean on the back, has a longer bottom to top arm path. The arm works out of ¾ slot, easy effort to the arm swing. The landing foot is is slightly across the body, front glove has some pull to it, needs to track longer to target. The fastball was clocked at 75-78 mph, located down in the zone. The breaking ball was clocked at 62-63 mph, 11/5 break, depth to it. The changeup is still a work in progress, clocked at 70-71 mph. At the plate, hits from the right side, wider, more open stance with the hands set lower. The separation is longer with a slight arm ball, swing is level to up, with a high one-handed finish. The approach was more middle to opposite, hard contact, with lift, driving the ball deep to opposite alley.  The tee exit velocity was clocked at 78 mph. Defensively, moved well to both sides, soft hands, easy catch on the backhand play, good footwork starting the double play. The arm was clocked at 78 mph, had flight and carry across the diamond. Showed good actions and rhythm on the slow roller play. Projects off the mound for me, velocity should climb, has feel for the strikes.
