ChangeUp | 40 | 45 | 87 | 86-88 | Firm CH that needs more separation to be effective. Runs into FB a bit, acts more like 2sm. Flashes of dive hint it could be a usable offering if he takes something off it. |

Overall Summary
Tall, deceptive LH-RP w/ enough FB velocity for follow grade. Polished for the level, could get outs in upper-minors 'pen role right now. Got a brief one-inning look. Needs another pitch and/or more separation on CH for regular ML role.
