California State Games - First thing to notice is the physical size (6-foot-6, 225-lbs) and lean muscularity. This is a young man who is not only big, but has clearly worked on his lower body, while maintaining lankiness in his upper body. The arm action is long and clean, the delivery is steady and he controls it, allowing for consistent manipulation of the ball at release. His FB peaks at 88 mph, with arm side life and depth to bottom of zone. The spin is sub-2000 which is where the sink and downward life comes from. He utilizes a slider as his breaking ball, with the pitch having smooth shape and break. He can use it to steal strikes as he works to set up and finish hitters with his best pitch, a split-finger fastball that at times is DEVASTATING, with late dive right off the table. It's a swing and miss splitter.
