Physical: Durable, compact/XL frame (6-1, 190lbs) with an imposing presence.
Pitching: RHP - Started off the far left side of the rubber with good pace in the delivery; utilized a short/quick side rocker into a medium leg lift at waist height, holding direction nicely into footstrike with some counter-rotation. Released from a repeatable, high ¾ slot with slight leverage into the zone. Generated solid life on the FB, entering the zone at an astounding 75% rate via Trackman Baseball (82-85 mph, strikes, good carry; 16 inches IVB). Mixed a short 73-75 mph breaker with late depth to it and was able to get me over enough to keep hitters off balance (44% zone rate).
