Scouting Report

6-foot-2, 190-pound build. Left hand hitter. Short path with his barrel working inside and through the ball. Worked mostly to the opposite field in BP, hands have strength with his top exit velocity at 85.5 mph. Barreled balls in all three of his game at bats. 
Frame has projection ahead at 6-foot-2, 175-pounds. Attacked the zone throughout his pen. Arm has quickness with a high ¾ slot. Works across his body creating angle to his fastball when going to his glove side. Fastball ranged from 79-81 mph. Maintains fastball arm speed on his changeup that has late run to his arm side. Showed feel for his breaking ball that works down and in to right hand hitters.
