2/20/16 Roach has a projectable frame at 6-foot, 155-pounds. At the plate he starts slightly open from the right side and gets back to even through a knee-pinch load and stride.

2/16/15 Young 5-foot-11, 145-pound thin frame with room to fill out.

On the mound his delivery requires using just regular effort while using a straight up and down leg lift.

His breaking pitch is a slider showing tight breaking movement at 61-63 mph. Right-handed hitter that starts open and gets to even.
