Physical Description
XL frame, broad and durable throughout. Built like Michael Pineda.
Mechanical Notes
Full windup w/ effort throughout, though he's strong enough to pitch through it. Lands open and pulls severely off-line. Stiff, plunged arm-circle, H3/4 slot. Improving his direction to the plate will be a development point moving forward.

| Slider | |||||
| Slider | 45 | 50 | 86-87 | 84-88 | Power slider w/ the shape and depth of a big league breaking pitch at best. Can be flat and cut-like at times, doesn't execute consistently. Believe he can bring out fully avg slider in time. |

| ChangeUp | |||||
| ChangeUp | 40 | 45 | 85-86 | 83-88 | Inconsistent feel for changeup, overthrows it at times and straightens out like a BP fastball. Flashes armside dive when he can get more separation, potential to become workable third pitch to lefties. |

Overall Summary
Ceiling of back-rotation piece that eats innings if fringy command and third pitch don't hold him up as a starter.
