Quick Hit
"Tall build with ability to hold more weight as he gets older. Simple stance and stance with a big swing. Works all parts of the field with solid line drives. Quick transfer defensively, not much of a shuffle or crow-hop into a low line-drive throw. Fields ball slightly inside glove foot instead of outside. Slowly increases tempo on the mound and falls into his pitch with good delivery. 3 pitch mix with and fills up the zone."
