Defensively, shows solid release w/ carry to target arm strength and throws were on the bag on this day. On the mound, righty pitched from a full wind-up into OTT release. Simple, repeatable delivery w/ super quick arm. Intriguing velocity ceiling as frame continues to mature. Some deception w/ the glove, hides his release point.
