Long- armed Right-handed pitcher who pitches for Baseball U 17U Gray.  He attends Fairfield Prep in Connecticut and will graduate in 2017. Pitches with an easy ¾ arm slot, arm circle is short and clean.  The delivery is repeated easily and hes a good athlete who can handle his body. Pitches in the low 80’s with a good feel for throwing strikes, and controlling the sequences. The slider is small and a work in progress.  The changeup is a pitch in the makings. He is a big follow for me, and with some physical strength and innings under his belt will take him to a high level.

8/13/19: Worked exclusively in relief for Bourne, where he projects at the next level, punching out 20 and walking just three over 20.1 innings of work. He wields an upper-80s fastball with solid angle and some late jump and a low-80s slide piece that flashed some bite and bat-missing ability. His curve is a soft, low-70s offering that lakes consistent shape but will flash average with two-plane action matching his tilted slider.
