6-foot-1, 175-pound athletic frame; RHP/OF. On the mound, where he showed lightning quick arm speed to the plate, he used a consistent arm action with an over-the-top arm angle. He is a tall-and-fall type pitcher who uses high effort in his delivery. Throws a 2/8 shaped curveball 70-74 that has sharp action and some accuracy. His live arm produced a fastball that came in at 88-89 mph; and topped out at 90 mph; tailing fastball has very consistent accuracy and heavy action. His changeup (79-83 mph) was most efficient when pitched in sequence with his fastball; had plus action on his fading changeup. He locates his slider (76-77 mph) well when he stays on top

Lean build with room for additional development. Moderate strength in the lower half and good arm length. Easy delivery with repeatable tempo. Short rocker step and a balance point just above the belt. Landed slightly open of his line and worked with a full arm action and slight scar load to a OTT arm slot.  FB showed riding life through the zone at 88 mph and developing feel for offspeed. Flashed a sharp 73 mph slider but inconsistent landing it for strikes. 

Athletic 6 feet 1, 175-pound lanky build. Quickness exists in the frame.  Ran a 7.26 sixty. Offensively he works from the right side with a tall, balanced setup. Gets his weight going back in his load and uses a short stride. He shows loose hands with his bat working level through the zone getting extension and shows the ability to generate some bat speed with his exit velocity recorded at 90 mph. In the outfield he shows average hands, with fluid feet and playing through the ball. Long arm action leading to an over the top slot with accurate throws.  Slightly better than average carry with a positional velocity of 83 mph.

On the mound, has rhythm, staying level and working on-line.  Tall through balance with an average leg kick and regular effort.  Foot-strike is slightly closed with the toe. Fastball at 75-79, straight and the ability to throw to both halves.  Elevated at times as the front side can get rotational, lacking some extension. Long arm swing and average arm speed, late in the arm swing at times, working to a high-¾ slot.  Change-up ranged 73-74, slowing the arm some while filling up the zone. Runs away from his breaking ball with his front side creating inconsistent break at 66-67. Projection exists in the frame and arm speed may increase as strength is added.
