Pre-pitch movement to them, small leg kick for timing, barrel is flat though the zone, and finishes at the shoulders.

Defensively, worked out in the middle, arm was clocked at 72 mph, working out of a natural ¾ slot.

The direction is inline, lead arm tucks early could lengthen a tick to get out front longer. The arm action has average length to it, working out of a higher ¾ slot, looks to work downhill.
