Physical Description
Short and stocky with some softness to body. Should firm up muscle tone with continued physical maturity. Some maintenance to body expected.
Mechanical Notes
Deliberate, low-effort SWU from high 3/4 with acceleration to release. Belt-high leg raise, balanced and strong leg engagement, turns back to plate, closed landing, spine tilt, plus extension, online to plate with excellent follow through. Arm action: early break, wrap, long and high in back, above-average arm speed.

Overall Summary
Above-average in every way. Will not blow hitters away with stuff, but he already mixes well and will benefit by keeping hitters off-balance. Quiet delivery and sturdy frame both work well for uptick in command/control. Fierce competitor not afraid to throw inside.
