6-foot-2, 190-pound, RHP has a strong and athletic frame for a 2020 graduate and could develop into something special, should he continue to grow and improve.  Uses a long rocker step while staying under control and can sometimes get a little mechanical.  Short arm action comes through a high ¾ slot and stays simple.  Fastball showed very slight run and curveball showed 12/6 to 11/5 shape through the zone.
