Physical Description
Tall w/ average build; trim features, long arms/legs.
Mechanical Notes
Full windup w/ overhead pump; clean delivery, free/easy operation, on-line finish. Long, full arm-circle and deliberate OT-H3/4 slot lack deception, hitters get a good look. Delivery is sound but grades below-avg because of how well he gets timed up.

Fringy stuff tied together w/ control and pitchability. Lacks carry tool for rotation role but can soak up innings as a mopup/longman or potential spot-starter.
