6-foot-2, 200-pound, RHP had an impressive 2 innings, striking out 5 and generating 7 swing and misses on 12 swings.  Tall, athletic frame w/ some present lower half strength, some upper body projection.  Pitches from a full wind-up into L ¾ to ¾ release from the first base side of the rubber.  Quick arm.  Glove side can be a little bit stronger, would help with direction to the plate, increase consistency.  Rhythmic delivery w/ slight pause at the top of his balance point.  Will quick pitch w/ no leg kick.  Straight FB shows occasional short arm-side run.  Medium downer CB w/ proper shape and rotation, flashes late bite, depth.  ¾ tilt SL w/ proper shape and rotation, flashes late bite, chance to be a put-away pitch.  CH w/ arm-speed, occasional short fade.  Controls his 4-pitch mix, will throw any pitch in any count, flashes ability to pitch w/ intent to both sides of the plate.  Advanced feel for repertoire.
