A left-handed pitcher, has tempo and timing to delivery, hands start higher, work down with rocker step, gets loaded on back side with higher leg kick, with coil to it. The separation is on time, direction is inline to the plate. The arm action is longer on the backside, has a small jab on the bottom of the arm path. The arm works out of a natural 3/4 slot, the fastball was clocked at 74 mph. Threw the breaking ball at 68 mph, late breaking bite, can get it to the back foot to right-handed hitters. Throws more of a fade changeup, clocked at 67 mph, working away to righties. More in the tank, can work off deception.
