Right handed hitter, narrow and upright base with closed feet, medium stride out, hands get a bit pushy at times and can travel with the core, some raw hand speed to work with and the barrel path worked the the swing was at its shortest. Right-handed pitcher, loose and quick arm from a sidearm slot, plenty of arm side action with both the fastball and change, short slider, sinks it to the bottom, developing feel with the slider, up to 78-mph here and throwing enough strikes.
