The Western Kentucky signee worked efficiently as he was consistently getting ahead of hitters all game. The fastball came in with some late fading and run that worked in the 84-86 MPH range to both sides of the plate. Was really able to work in against righties consistently tying hitters hands up and generating weak contact. He did run into some late trouble in the 5th inning issuing a walk and a hit before working out of the jam with 2 strikeouts. He has present arm speed and gets over his front side really well. There is more velocity in there however as he could get more out of his backside before launching down the mound. He is another guy that should see an uptick in velocity as he gets in a college strength program and already comes in with some refinement mechanically for a late ball release out of hand.
