Physical Description
Tall, lean and wiry, lithe athlete w/ twitchy armspeed, room to fill out. Built like Sandy Alcantara (MIA).
Mechanical Notes
Slow semi-windup, tall gather at the top, unwinds down the mound and struggles to repeat. Fast, whippy 3/4 slot. Young and athletic enough to project on delivery getting more consistent.

Overall Summary
High risk/high reward prospect, electric arm that’s raw and has a number of potential outcomes. Best-case ceiling of a mid-rotation starter w/ dominant FB and miss-bat secondary pitches. Has the raw stuff to succeed in high-leverage ‘pen role if he needs a fallback.
