Physical Description
Medium, athletic frame w/ remaining growth potential.
Mechanical Notes
SWU w/ deceptive crossfire finish; full, compact arm-circle stays in-line on the backside, hiding the ball until late from sneaky 3/4 slot.

Fastball Value
Overall Fastball Value 40 45 Advanced strikethrowing w/ FB, requires projection on velocity and life. Will need to throw harder to ultimately be an effective pitch at ML level.

Fastball Command
Fastball Command 40 45 Keeps FB around the plate, spots are loose within the zone. Pitchability and delivery here to project command, though limited velo limits margin for error.

Slider
Slider 40 45 79-80 79-83 Changes the shape of a sweepy, slurvy three-quarters breaking ball. Feel to make it a CB or SL plays up fringy action, projects as a workable pitch.

ChangeUp
ChangeUp 40 50 81-82 80-83 Has a developed feel for CH, chance for a big league quality pitch. Flashes separation and late fade to armside.

Control
Control 40 50 High pitching IQ, changes speeds often and has faith in secondary stuff, polished strikethrower for age/pro experience. Ingredients of a pitchability lefty.

Overall Summary
Crafty lefty that leans heavily on advanced off-speed and control. Pitchability makes him a prospect, though how impactful his stuff will play at ML level is a question. High-floor, low-ceiling type w/ the polish to move relatively quickly through the low-minors.
