The right-hander operates with a high intent, up-tempo delivery, utilizing a high leg-lift and front side to work downhill and in-line. Throwing from an over-the-top slot with a medium arm circle, he creates a serious downhill angle on his pitches. His fastball sat 89-91 mph (2,169 rpm) with 17.3 inches of average induced vertical break showing serious carry through the top of the zone. His curveball played at 73-76 mph (1,370 rpm) with -2.1 inches of horizontal movement. The heater generates good carry through the zone, setting up an over-the-top breaking ball with traditional 12/6 shape. He rounds out the mix with a changeup that he sells with fast arm speed, tossing the pitch at 77-78 mph with mostly straight actions and 12.2 inches of horizontal movement. Right-handed arm with impressive stuff, pitchability and deception with the extreme over-the-top slot.
