Mechanical Notes
Varies between working from a SWU or the stretch only, looks like he's still trying to get comfortable in either one. Herky-jerky operation w/ crossfire landings that pull off-line; plunged, off-line arm-circle w/ moderate effort through H3/4 stroke.

| Fastball Command | 30 | 40 | — | — | Scattershot sprayer, loose in and out of the zone. Projects up a grade if he can iron out his lines to the plate, though always RP-type command profile. |

Overall Summary
Physicality and FB could get him to the big leagues, though don't see enough control or off-speed feel for true prospect grade at this time. Has some late-bloomer attributes and could take a jump w/ cleaner mechanics and more overall refinement. Follow grade.
