Fastball at 76-78, 1817rpm. Some ride with arm side run heavy at times. Curveball and slider should each create issues for hitters.

Solid ride, working true out of the hand. Top to bottom breaking ball is thrown with arm speed. Firm, sits 70-73, 2259rpm. Short tilt that could grab more depth with maturity.
