6-foot-3, 165-pound, left-handed pitcher with a lanky build and room to fill. Works from a high ¾ arm angle with a long, loose, quick arm action. Online balanced delivery with some rhythm. Tends to collapse back knee before going to the plate from the windup. Better tempo and release point from the stretch. Worked 78-80 topping out at 82 mph with the fastball that flashed some run down the zone. Maintained fastball arm speed on change up at 73-74 mph. Curveball showed 12-6 shape at 64 mph. Projects for more velocity as he fills out.
