5-foot-9, 140-pound, average, athletic frame, shoulders are sloped, arms are long, has room to fill out. A left-handed pitcher, has an easy repeatable delivery, hands start at mid chest and stay there throughout, leg raise is smooth, could stay back and over the rubber a tick longer. The stride has good length to it, it’s straight and gets down the mound athletically. The arm action is a bit shorter on the backside, works out of a ¾ slot. The fastball was clocked at 67 mph, worked it down in the zone. The changeup was the top secondary offering, clocked at 61-63 mph, had fade and action to arm side. Threw two breaking balls, slider was clocked at 59-61 mph had more horizontal break. The curve ball had more top to bottom rotation clocked at 56-57 mph. The backside lower half could stay stronger, loses some leverage, will help on plane to plate. The frame is young, strength is needed, along with a regimented throwing program to build more are strength.
