6-foot-7, 200-pound, long and lengthy frame, with tons of room for added development. A huge left-handed pitcher, the delivery is easy and repeatable. The tempo is good, hands start low and have some rhythm with the controlled leg raise. The direction is inline with target and frontside stays strong through release. The arm is clean, ball comes out of a high ¾ slot. The fastball was 78-81 mph with some life to arm side and pitched at the knees. The breaking ball was clocked at 66-70 mph had more slider shape with side spin at times. The changeup is an above average pitch, throws it with great arm speed, uses entire body to sell it, was thrown at 69 mph. Times to the plate were good at 1.45. Strength is a must, has some projection, follow this one closely.
