ChangeUp
ChangeUp 40 45 84 83-85 Shows more to LHH, iffy third pitch. Throws w/ FB armspeed and gets long fade. Floats at times, rarely for a strike. Fringy, will need to develop in order to start.

Control

Overall Summary
Best-case ceiling of backend starter, but questionable control and pitchability could bump him from the rotation. Think he's more impactful as a dominant multi-inning 'pen piece, where FB ticks up to high-90s and SL is a true weapon.
