6-foot-3, 165-pound, thin, long and lengthy athletic frame, has a ton of room to fill out and to get stronger. A right-handed pitcher, second PBR event this fall, at the first event worked out of a natural ¾ slot, since then has changed the arm slot to sidearm and below. The arm is clean and hides the ball well, gets on the catcher quick, with late sinking action. The fastball was clocked at 76-77 mph, with more in the tank. The breaking ball was clocked at 65-67 with good sweeping action. The change up at 70-73 mph, had some sink to the arm side with it. Times to the plate were at 1.68. As he gets more comfortable with the delivery and arm slot, pitch-ability should rise. I loved how the arm worked at this angle, should be very hard for right-handed hitters to square up. Good looking sleeper.

6-foot-3, 165-pound, long and lengthy athletic frame. The arms and neck are long, shoulders are sloped, has plenty of room to fill out.  A right-handed pitcher, the delivery is smooth with timing and good tempo. The hands start high and drop down with the step back and work their way back up with controlled raise. The gather is very good, high and compact, shows to be very flexible with the lower half, the backside stays tall and strong throughout. The arm action is clean and free on the backside, works out of ¾ to lower- ¾ slot. The fastball was clocked at 73-75 mph, showed sink to arm side. Dropped down at times and lived at knees. The breaking ball was 64-65 mph, with some sweeping break to it. The change up showed good fade and sink to arm side, sold it well with good arm speed, clocked at 72-73 mph.
