The fastball was clocked at 74-77 MPH and the change up is a good pitch that was clocked at 68-69 MPH, showed arm side fade, with correct action and fade to it, comes out of the hand looking like a fastball. He throws two different breaking balls, the curveball was clocked at 67-68 MPH while the slider was clocked at 70-72 MPH. The slider has a chance to be an out pitch, depth and late break to it.

5-foot-10, 175-pound, strong, thick athletic frame. Shows to have above average strength for his age. A right-handed hitter, the stance is slightly open, hands are set at shoulder height, back elbow gets extended outward. The lower half is under control, stride is short and simple, keeps weight back. The swing is level to up, keeps hands inside the baseball, lets the baseball travel, barrel stays in the zone for a long time. The approach is from gap to gap, tee exit velocity was clocked at 80 mph.

Off the mound, this right-hander has a simple, controlled delivery, the arm action is super clean and short on the backside. The arm works out of a natural ¾ slot, fastball was clocked at 67-70 mph, look for velocity to continue to climb. The breaking ball was clocked at 65 mph, it's more of a slider.
