Physical Description
Medium frame that's country strong; x-muscular build w/ thick hips and broad upper half. T.J. Surgery (June 2016).
Mechanical Notes
Slow-tempo semi-windup; tall/fall style, would like to see him engage strong lower-half more; pulls slightly off-line at finish. Effort to arm-stroke: hooks behind, plungy takeaway, arm works fast through H3/4 slot.

Overall Summary
Still building back mound time after missing 2016 w/ injury. Deep-projection prospect that's raw and far from a sure thing. Flashes of FB/CB could fit middle relief profile.
