Positional Profile: LHP/1B
Body: 6-5, 200-pounds. Very projectable frame with high ceiling that continues to develop,
Delivery: Tall setup with some movement into the turn with his hands held in front of his face. Hands drop during turn and rise with leg kick. Drops and rides back hip down with good drive. Shoulders get good seperation.
Arm Action: LH. Very loose arm action stays hidden behind his body well and comes through with a high 3/4 slot.
FB: T87, 85-86 mph. Fastball works with 2 seam action, with heavy sink. Great ASR paired with release point will make for a very uncomfterble at bat for LHH. T2148, 2041 average rpm.
SL: 71-74 mph. Slider has good sweeping action, occassionally backing up depending on where its released. Consistent release point will make it a dangerous weapon. T2210, 2154 average rpm.
