Slider | |||||
Slider | 45 | 50 | 81 | 79-83 | Needs a fully avg third pitch to turn over big league lineups. SL has that potential, but doesn't use it enough. Better than his CB, but plays as a fringy pitch w/ current usage. |

ChangeUp | 55 | 55 | 84 | 81-85 | Above-avg CH, occasional bat-misser, best pitch that gives him a chance to stick in the rotation. Sells w/ FB armspeed, gets separation and consistent late dive. |

Control | |||||
Control | 50 | 50 | — | — | Leans heavily on FB/CH mix, lacks the stuff to not show three speeds early to ML hitters. Avg control, consistent strike-thrower, comes at the zone aggressively to get ahead. |

Overall Summary
High floor/low ceiling type, could hold his own as a swingman/spot-starter in the big leagues right now. Chance to be a true #5 starter, though will have a hard time carving out a full-time ML rotation role if command or slider don't improve.
