On the mound, the 5-foot-7, 150-pound righty starts squared to home plate. Uses a small rocker step into a slow tempo into a big leg kick. Uses long arm action through an over the top arm slot. Fastball is straight at 73-76 mph. Did a good job of locating it down in the zone. Breaking ball has gradual 12/6 break at 61-63 mph. Also showed a 68-69 mph changeup. Starts in an open setup at the plate. Takes his hands to launch during his stride forward. Swing is level and compact. Contact type guy. Would like to see his barrel in the zone longer to create a bigger margin of error in timing.  Uses quick, direct footwork in the infield. Does a nice job of gaining ground to first prior to his throws. Threw across the infield with 74 mph arm strength.
