Showed intriguing stuff on the mound. Utilizes a tall and fall delivery with a short stride down the mound. An overhead arm slot with short arm action on the backside hides the ball well.

Arm strength translated during outfield workouts. Produced solid carry when on in sync. Reached 88 mph in drills. Charges the ball well. Fields out front. Will stop feet at catch point before gaining ground into throws occasionally. Left-handed hitter. Utilizes a square stance with a wide base and high back elbow. Minimal movement pre-pitch. Uses the entire field. Flashed the ability to find barrels to the pullside. More lower half incorporation would help strength play in the box more regularly. Ran a 6.95 60-yard dash.
