Lean, projectable 6-foot-3, 175 pounds.  Repeats the delivery with an average leg kick and level shoulders.  Long arm action has some looseness in it.  Ball is occasionally laid off at the back of the arm swing, but gets back to the high-3/4 slot while landing on-line.  Some quickness in the arm that should improve as strength is added to the frame.  Fastball sat 81-84, erratic early.  Change-up works with sink and run to the arm side.  Deception exists as the arm speed is near the fastball.  Change ranged 66-69.  Breaking ball works with good arm speed as well at 66-69.  Gradual 10/4 tilt begins to show out of the hand.    
Right handed hitter works with a swing geared to pull.  Balanced setup with a smooth load back and short stride.  Lower half works to produce strength through the ball.  Average bat speed as the bat head can get in and out of the zone a little quickly, occasionally hooking the ball.  Strength is present with an exit velocity of 87 mph off the barrel.  On the infield, the hands work with rhythm, funneling to the mid-section.  Short arm swing to a loose, high-3/4 slot.  Advanced accuracy and good carry on throws measuring 75 mph out of the hand.  Feet work through some stiffness at the catch, but may clean up as the body settles in the coming years.
