Moderate leg kick; frontside flies open early; some arm drag; fast arm speed; quality extension towards home; exaggerated follow through post-release; off-balance at delivery; spin tilt at foot strike; present average control, below-average command -- effectively wild; could improve command with controlled delivery and repetition.
