Showed a loose arm action with a high ¾ slot. During the event, ran the 60-yard dash in 8.25. On the mound, showing consistent arm speed he used a loose arm action with a high ¾ arm angle. Feel type pitcher who shows easy effort. Threw his fastball 66-67 mph. Showed slight running action. (Max spin 1696; Avg 1659). His 11/5 curveball (54-57) has some action. (Max spin 1983; Avg 1957).
