True Sophomore. Formerly ranked No. 170 in Wisconsin’s 2021 class. Led the staff last year with 44 innings pitched while posting a 3.89 ERA to go along with 60 strikeouts and 24 walks. The southpaw worked his fastball in the 84-86 mph range, topping out at 87 mph with a max IVB of 18.2. Slider looked to be his best off-speed offering this day, coming in off a 2/8 plane at 71-74 mph, kept around the zone. Changeup flashed above-average, fading under the zone at 78-80 mph. Curveball plays off a 1/7 plane and flashed depth, 67-71 mph.

6-foot, 155-pound left-handed pitcher. Plenty of room to fill out his lean, high-waisted, broad shouldered frame. Started on the mound Friday morning for STiKS against JBA. Arm plays short from a quick ¾ slot. Repeatable tall/fall type delivery, athletic at balance point, shoulders stay level, throws across body at times. Fastball sat between 76-78 mph, touching 79 mph. Showed natural arm-side run and also flashed glove-side cut. Comfortably attacked hitters with the fastball throughout his outing. Curveball worked in the 61-64 mph range, 2/8 shape with sweeping actions, and got several ugly swing-and-misses. Projectable uncommitted southpaw to follow in his class.
