5-foot-11, 220-pound, thick, strong, athletic frame. The lower half has strength to him. At the plate, hits from the right side, stance is even at shoulder width. The hands are held at the letters with a high back elbow. For timing uses a simple pick up and put down of the stride foot. The swing is down to up, could keep the barrel in the zone longer, cuts swing off at end a bit.  Finishes it with two hands at the shoulders. The approach is more middle to the pull side, tee exit velocity was clocked at 82 mph. Defensively, showed soft hands and gets off the bag quick, with good footwork around the bag. The drop steps were accurate on the double play starts. The arm action is clean on the backside, works out of a ¾ slot, clocked at 72 mph. Off the mound, this right-hander has timing and tempo to the delivery, hands start low work up with smooth leg raise. The weight stays over the post leg, good gather, direction is inline to the plate. The arm works out of a ¾ slot, fastball was clocked at 71-75 mph, located down in the zone. The changeup was his best pitch, very good arm speed, sold well, clocked at 59 mph. The breaking ball had proper spin, thrown slower at 56 mph. Pounded the zone with all three pitches.
