6-foot-1, 160-pound, RHP showed two plus pitches w/ lot of projection. Pitches from a full wind-up w/ a rocker step and replaces his push-off foot on the rubber. Hands over head to balance point w/ front leg leading to plate. Legs along for the ride w/ H ¾ arm slot. FB shows consistent arm side run w/ occasional sink. Can dominate the arm side part of the plate to RHH’s. CB is 12-6 w/ avg to above avg depth, flashes tight rotation, late break. SL is true out pitch, recorded 5 of 6 of his strikeouts on it. ¾ tilt w/ late break, tight rotation. Gets a little big and slurvy at times. Slows arm down on CH, shows occasional cut, occasional sink. Feel for the strike zone, developing command. Command will come as mechanics gain consistency. Pitches w/ an attitude, confident on the mound. Struck out 5 in 3 innings w/ 28 % swing and miss rate and was difficult to lift, as all 5 balls put in play were groundballs. Big time arm w/ bright future.
