6-foot, 160-pound, a long and lengthy wiry strong athletic frame. The shoulders are sloped has room to fill out and put added weight on. Top pitcher at this event, delivery has quick tempo to it, hands start and stay at the waist, leg raise is athletic, direction is inline, minimal pull with lead arm. The finish is out front, with a small recoil of throwing arm. The arm action is longer, loose and whippy, working out of a natural ¾ slot. The fastball was clocked at 81-84 mph, with late action to it, baseball comes out of his hand well.  The slider was clocked at 69-70 mph, tilt and depth to it, thrown for a strike as well, is a swing and miss offering. The changeup was at 74-75 mph, fade and run to the arm side. Times to the plate were at 1.47. Offensively, feet are even a taller stance, hands are super loose and relaxed at the shoulders. The hands have pre-pitch movement to them, has a smooth high leg kick, stride gains ground. The swing is level to up, keeps the hands inside the baseball, looks to drive it to all fields. The tee exit velocity was clocked at 85 mph, barrel has life out front on contact. Defensively, real good prep steps, is athletic and moves well to the baseball. The hands are soft, quick transfer shuffle. The arm works out of a ¾ slot, plenty of arm to stick on the left side, clocked at 82 mph. Big follow off the mound, should be off the board quick.
