Fastball worked in the upper-70s for most of his outing, touching the low-80s on occasion and topped out at 83 mph in this look. He works from a high three-quarters arm slot, creating plenty of natural arm-side run to his fastball and a loose shaped breaking ball that can improve with minor refinements.

Displayed slightly lofted stroke that gets on-plane and has plenty of present barrel speed.
