| Overall Fastball Value | 40 | 45 | — | — | Velo has backed up a bit; light FB more notable for movement than power. Projects as to-contact pitch. |

| Fastball Velocity | 45 | 45 | 90 | 87-92 | 4sm (89-92), 2sm (87-89). Fringy velo without frame to project much more. |

| Fastball Movement | |||||
| Fastball Movement | 50 | 50 | — | — | Feel to mix grips and change looks at his FB. Hard, heavy 2sm sinker w/ run to armside is best pitch. Occasionally shows a short cut look. |

| Fastball Command | |||||
| Fastball Command | 40 | 45 | — | — | Around the zone w/ FB, though catches lots of plate without the stuff to make location mistakes. Signs of playable in-zone location w/ more pro reps. |

| Curveball | |||||
| Curveball | 30 | 40 | 79 | 78-80 | Takes something off SL for more of a true CB. Slurvy shape w/ three-quarters tilt; shows enough feel for spin to find more consistency in time. Projects as usable wrinkle. |

| Slider | |||||
| Slider | 40 | 45 | 82 | 80-84 | Main secondary, tight shape and fair action. Played a bit less dynamic than 2018 looks. Projects as workable breaking ball but not a bat-misser, how dynamic his SL is seems to correlate w/ FB velocity. |

| ChangeUp | |||||
| ChangeUp | 30 | 40 | 83 | 82-85 | Better separation off FB in recent look, but still a below-avg offering he lacks faith in. Doesn't show much, often floated up in the zone. Could drop if ever in a non-starting role. |

| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 45 | — | — | FB/SL two main pitches, throws strikes with both. Lack of true third speed hurts him back through lineups, especially vs. LHH. Shows advanced pitchability and competitive mound presence, battler who knows how to get outs. |

Overall Summary
Stuff has backed up, FV dipped into 35+/Follow range. Pitchability and feel to mix looks at FB give a chance to serve as upper-minors/4A depth. Could get cups of coffee in low-leverage middle innings or mopup role.
