6-foot-1, 195-pound average build. On the mound he uses a slow tempo with a delivery that requires regular effort. He gets tall at balance point and creates good direction to home plate with a finish that has him falling to first base side at times. From an over the top slot he sat 74-78 mph with his fastball. Curveball had signs of being sharp with an 11/5 shape at 65-67 mph. Tends to slow his arm on his 65-66 mph changeup. At the plate he starts slightly open and gets back to even with a short stride. Hands stay simple during load and get through the zone quickly on a level path. Had good extension through contact and reached a top exit velocity of 87 mph. He was able throw accuretly with 77 mph arm strength to home plate from the outfield. Would like to see him play through the ball more efficiently to speed up his transfer. Ran a 7.4 60-yard dash.

Ran a 4.85 from home to first.  At the plate he uses a simple approach to let his bat speed go to work. Hands stay simple throughout load and fire through the zone producing an exit velocity of 87 mph. In the infield he took direct routes to the ball funneling it deep into his body.
