9/23/18 - 6-foot-4, 185-pound, right-handed pitcher, lanky, athletic frame. Behind the rubber step to high knee, crunched balance point, extends down the mound, hips open early, works straight to home, toe lands closed, some spinoff at finish. Arm plays short and whippy, gradually speeds through a ¾ slot, deception in offerings, early release out of the hand. Fastball, run and some sink in the zone, climbed the ladder in-game, 80-82 mph, topped 83 mph. Curveball, 10/4 shape, flashed feel for, 67-69 mph. Worked two clean innings with one K in each.

Fastball featured hard run and was thrown for strikes, 81-83 mph, touched 84 mph. Curveball, 11/5 plane, 66-69 mph. Changeup, work-in-progress, slows arm, 59-62 mph. At the plate, tall and open setup, short toe-tap stride gets back to even, long, uphill bat path. 85 mph exit velo from the tee. In the infield, long and loose arm action from ¾ slot, 77 mph from across the diamond.
