Physical: Strong, durable 6-foot-1, 190lb frame with a high waist and projectability found on the bump.
Pitching: RHP - Started tall off the far left side of the rubber; quicker tempo after the side rocker, getting to a slightly hip-coiled, higher stack position before driving down the slope into footstrike with leverage available at H ¾. The FB landed at 76-78 mph with good extension on the release, able to create some heavy action at 1658rpms. Mixed in a shorter 58-60 mph CB at an 11/5 tilt, turning to a more advanced 64-66 mph SL at 8 inches of HM average (via Trackman). Liked to set the tone with the heater before creating deception when ahead in count.
