| ChangeUp | |||||
| ChangeUp | 30 | 45 | 87-88 | 85-89 | Keeps CH at armspeed but too firm, acts more like a 2sm now and speeds up bats. Flashes long one-plane run when in 85-86 range, gives hope he can develop into workable third pitch. Needs to improve to stick in rotation. |

| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 50 | — | — | Advanced ability to mix speeds and attack LHH/RHH differently. Leans heavily on FB/cutter, CB for strikes in best sequences but inconsistent. Needs to develop CH to have the arsenal depth to start. Battles on the mound, fiery presence. |

Overall Summary
Young, projectable RHP w/ chance for above-avg FB and deep mix of solid off-speed. Ceiling of #4 SP w/ continued development across the board and improved CH. Proximity and projection required add risk.
