Physical Description
Shorter and more compact than 6'3''/195 listing.
Mechanical Notes
Stretch only; max-effort operation that limits consistency and location; wild finish that comes off-line after release; x-long, hooked arm-circle w/ violent recoil in front. Generates velocity from lightning-quick 3/4 slot.

Fastball Velocity | 60 | 60 | 94-95 | 94-97 | Sits in the mid-90s and can reach back for 96-97 at best. Plus raw arm-strength that bails out the rest of the profile to some degree. |

Slider | |||||
Slider | 40 | 50 | 84 | 82-85 | Flashes a big league slider at best, a separator between him and other crude arm-strength types. Two-plane tilt at best; wide break, glider type. Effortful delivery limits execution, lots of present backups/rollers. Potential future AVG pitch w/ more consistency. |

Splitter | 40 | 40 | 84 | 83-85 | Split-type wrinkle he mixes to LHH. Moderate movement, didn't use it much, tough to get a read on the pitch from a one-game viewing. |

Control | |||||
Control | 30 | 40 | — | — | Rears back and lets it fly w/ minimal present control. Has time to make adjustments, but control has a ways to go before his power stuff plays the way it can. |

Overall Summary
Ceiling of middle reliever w/ playable FB and SL mix, a harder matchup against RHHs. Don't see the control or consistency for higher-leverage spots; extremely raw control and command add risk to profile and will be the culprit if he stalls out in the high-minors.
