Physical 6-foot-3, 190 pound frame with broad shoulders.  Strength is present but there is room to continue to add.  Fastball only ranged 78-81 on the mound but there is a jump coming and it may be quick as he touched 87 from right field in defensive drills.  ¾ slot as the arm works long with looseness.  Starts on the 3B side of the rubber with the lead foot strike in-line with the 1B side of the rubber.   Slight cross-fire does create some arm side movement to the fastball.  Tall through balance, works with some ease and flashed an ability to command all three pitches.  Change-up comes from a similar slot as fastball at 73-76.  The breaking ball can be inconsistent, lacking a mature shape.  The better spin pitch works with some late, hard sweep across the zone at 71-72.  At times working for more tilt the pitch can be early at 70.
With the big frame there is some quickness, running a 7.06 sixty and flashing above average bat speed.  Left handed hitter is balanced, using a leg kick to load the body.  Strong hands take the bat on a direct path, staying short to the ball producing line drives, staying in the middle of the field with an exit velocity of 86 mph.  Defensively, works from a higher slot with a similar arm action to the mound.  Out of the high-3/4 slot, the feet tend to work on line with their throw and the head has stability.  Carry and accuracy present on the infield and in the outfield.
