Physical Description
Short, muscular frame w/ thickness throughout. Strong but limited athlete.
Mechanical Notes
Abbreviated windup, starts side-saddle into closed leg lift; effort in finish w/ thwack and head rattle; compact, shallow arm-circle; powerful H3/4 slot w/ moderate recoil. High-maintenance operation impacts durability and control in SP role, less in 'pen.

| Overall Fastball Value | 55 | 60 | — | — | High-90s bowling ball above-avg pitch in any role; potential dominant weapon in the pen, chance to be turbo sinker at/near triple-digits in short bursts. |

| Fastball Velocity | 70 | 80 | 96-97 | 95-100 | Starts games sitting high-90s and scraping 99-100; settles in at 96-97. Will pitch at 100 if ever in relief. |

| Fastball Movement | 55 | 60 | — | — | Heavy armside bore w/ best movement down in the zone. Impossible to lift when he hits a spot down. Plus life near the top of velo range, projects up aired out in the 'pen. |

| Slider | 45 | 50 | 85-86 | 84-87 | Power SL w/ flashes of sharp bite and two-plane finish. Effort in delivery limits action on the pitch; gets cut-like and lacks depth at times. Projects as solid breaking ball in the 'pen. |

| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 45 | — | — | Mixes three power pitches w/ feel even though control is below-avg and sprays the zone. Competitive mound presence fits late innings, works fast. Falls in love w/ off-speed at times, needs to use FB like the weapon it is. |

Overall Summary
Undersized RHP w/ power arsenal and effort delivery that likely wind up in the 'pen. Has the raw stuff to pitch high leverage innings, though don't see durability or control/command to close games. Size and high-maintenance operation add risk and could break down quickly.
