Large, athletic frame with square shoulders and long limbs, room to fill throughout moving forward. Ran a 7.28 60-yard dash. Primary righthanded pitcher, side step into delivery with leg lift up past belt. Works to a low three-quarters release point, helps generate sinking life to fastball through the zone and worked around the plate while topping at 72 mph. Good tempo throughout, can get in on hands and induced weak contact. Has comfort and feel for curveball, 11-5 shape with short depth at 58 mph, repeats arm action and kept hitters off balance. Straight changeup at 61 mph. Also catches, higher set behind plate during drills, gains ground with lower half, quick transfer, shorter arm action at release, accurate throws, arm strength will continue to develop on throws. Righthanded hitter, begins with an open and upright stance, high hand set at the plate. Simple leg lift trigger for timing, shows a contact approach with a short, linear swing path, occasionally shows lift out front. Can work the middle and opposite parts of the field, comes off well when squared with jump, can incorporate additional lower half into swing. Good student.
