5-foot-8, 140 pounds with a developing frame and very lean build. Uses a narrow, very open set-up in the box with tall posture. Goes from an open lower half into a balanced leg lift with slight hip hinge to stay gathered. Lands in an athletic base with adjustability in his lower half. Hands show a subtle, rhythmic load that consistently times up with his forward move. Upper half stays compact/relaxed and allows him to create easy barrel whip thru the zone. Clean, one-handed finish with full hip rotation after contact. Defensively, starts tall & upright before working towards the batter with his pre-pitch move. Gets into a wide base and lets the ball travel into his stance when funneling in. Showed confident control of his glove hand when on the move laterally. Clean, consistent exchange into a low ¾ throwing motion. Arm action stays short with a loose finish thru release.On the mound, pitched exclusively from the stretch on this look. Sets up from the far 3rd base side of the rubber. Takes a high, athletic leg lift with some coil into his back hip. Pushes off back-side with slight flexion in rear leg while maintaining level shoulder line. Lead leg works directly towards target, allowing hips to open up fluidly. Arm shows a simple, short path with bent action. Smooth tempo in delivery leading to footstrike. Aggressive finish out front with projectable hand speed at release.
