Lean, medium build with room to add strength.

Secondary right-handed pitcher with a fairly simple delivery and some present arm speed. Fastball worked in the upper-70s for most of his outing, topping out at 80 mph in this look with some life to the glove side. Displayed ability to command both sides of the plate effectively, mixing in a sharpe, late breaking curveball with 12-6 shape to it. Left-handed hitter that hits from a wider, even based stance with a high hand set, high back elbow and quick leg lift trigger. Displays some present barrel quickness and developing feel for the barrel. Contact oriented swing with opposite field approach due to inside-out swing path and aggressive upper-body movements. Will continue to improve with proper swing adjustments and additional strength. Good Student.
