Tennessee commit.  6-foot-3, 200-pound, LHP committed shortly after the event, where he showcased a plus breaking ball, which generated 3 swing and misses on 3 swings.  Prototypical pitcher frame, tall and athletic w/ present lower half strength, upper body projection.  Pitches from a full wind-up into ¾ to H ¾ release from the third base side of the rubber.  Pre-set drive foot.  Quiet, repeatable delivery w/ projectable arm-speed.  Angle.  FB shows short arm-side run and some sink.  CB is a tight slurve w/ late bite, above average depth.  Was a hammer consistently on this day, could play in college as a put-away pitch right now.  Commanded his 2-pitch mix, pitched with intent to both sides of the plate.
