6-foot, 140 pounds with a wiry build and wide upper-half. Works from the 3rd base side of the rubber with some slight cross action in delivery. Stays tall on backside with an up-down-and-out leg lift. Stays back as hands break and he gets separation between his throwing arm and glove side. Arm action shows full extension with a continuous path into a very low ¾ release. Borderline side-arm. Whippy finish out front. Stays upright and gets rotation around front leg at finish. Shows the natural ability to create significant movement with all of his offerings. Nothing out of hand is straight. FB has considerable sink/run with late tumble to his arm-side. Slider spins up to 2387 with up to 39 Bauer units, which indicates his breaking ball has well above average spin for its velocity. Has the chance to be an especially tough match-up for LHH.
