6-foot, 170-pound right-handed pitcher. The fastball sat 77-78 mph with arm side run. The spin pitch sat 63-64 mph, big in shape. The changeup is 73-74 mph and developing. The delivery is online and the slot is slightly above 3/4. The direction of the top half comes offline as he has glove prior to getting into foot strike.
