Body: 5-11, 165-pounds. Medium athletic build. Present strength in the lower half.
Delivery: Clean arm action. Medium arm circle in the back that is loose and easy to release. Present scapular retraction. Arm accelerates well with peak arm speed at release. Comes out of the H 3/4 slot.
Arm Action: RH. Smooth and repeatable delivery. Uses a medium knee tuck and initiates drift well down the mound. Gets into his backhip without needing to drop into the back leg. Creates good hip-shoulder separation into footstrike while maintaining flexion in backleg. Quiet head. Good lead leg block and finishes slightly falling off to 1B side of mound.
FB: T86, 83-86 mph. Average spin. Showed solid command to all quadrants. Extension is above average which increases perceived velo.
SL: 71-72 mph. True sweeping break due to minimal VB (avg. 0.1 inch) and 11 inches of HB. Showed solid command of it (67% strike percentage).
CH: 75-78 mph. Kills spin on the pitch (1700 rpm). Straight change. Same armspeed as FB. Ability to throw it for strikes.
