6-foot-2, 210-pound, large, strong, physically developed frame. The back and shoulders are wide, has a good durable pitchers frame. A right-handed pitcher who can really spin the baseball, attacks and is super aggressive after hitters. The delivery is simple, works from the set position the entire time. The hands start and stay at the midsection, leg raise is smooth, gets to a good gather position, staying over the rubber, separation is on time, is strong on the backside, stays tall. The stride is straight and inline with home plate. The arm action has length on the backside, arm works out of a ¾ to high ¾ slot, fastball was located to both sides, clocked at 80-84 mph, showed to have heavy action to it. The slider was his best pitch, clocked at 76-77 mph, late hard break to it. The curveball was clocked at 69-70 mph, with more top to bottom break, offsets the slider nicely.  Didn’t show much of a changeup, with the two plus breaking balls, doesn’t need it much at this point. Big time follow for me, has two legit out pitches.
