6/21/16 5-foot-8, 190-pound thick build. On the mound the righty has a quick tempo with short arm action. His unique combination of short arm action and a low ¾ slot create deception for hitters. Fastball was anywhere from 73-76 with natural run. Has feel for two different breaking balls. Slider is the more developed pitch at this time with gradual break across the zone. Curveball has more of an 11/5 look to it.At the plate the right hander gets through the zone on an uphill path with above average batspeed. Uses a leg kick load to get solid use out of his lower half. Worked better to his pull side. Registered an exit velocity of 83 mph and ran a 4.5 from home to first. At third base he did a nice job of gaining ground prior to his throws. Has average hands and feet at this stage.
