Evaluation: Average sized prospect that projects best as a pitcher at this stage. Quick arm action through a high-3/4 arm slot. Fastball sat 85-88 mph with occasional arm-side run. Some effort to his delivery. Breaking ball had gradual 11/5 action at 66-69 mph. Tendency to slow down his arm speed on his changeup at 69 mph. In the field, he shows potential as a corner outfield type. Top velocity of 88 mph. At the plate, he starts from a slight crouch. Small leg kick with a short stride. Inside/out type tendencies. Top exit velocity of 84 mph. Ran a 7.14 60-yard dash.
