5-foot-9, 165-pound left-handed pitcher with small, thin build. Uses above average arm action through a high ¾ arm slot. Fastball sits 72-74. Curveball sits 58-60 mph with 1/7, sharp breaking action. Changeup is thrown near fastball arm speed and sits at 63-65 mph.

The 5-foot-9, 165-pound prospect was the youngest player at the event. This was the second time that PBR has seen Surgeon this fall, and he is a definite follow. The southpaw has a lean, athletic build with plenty of room to fill out. He uses a ¾ arm slot with quick, fluid arm action. His fastball sat in the low 70’s, topping out at 75. Even more impressive, he demonstrated feel and command for both off-speed pitches. His changeup, which is thrown near the arm speed of his fastball, has excellent fade and sits at 61-63 mph. Also, his curveball, which has tight 1/6 break, sat at 59-60 mph.
