| Fastball Command | 55 | 60 | — | — | Spots both sides of the plate. Occasionally sails FB up in the zone, but projects to keep improving w/ more pro mound time given his approach and low-effort delivery. |

| ChangeUp | |||||
| ChangeUp | 45 | 50 | 83-84 | 82-84 | Slight fade, replicates FB arm speed, keeps in down and flashed ability to land in zone. Won't miss bats or induce ground balls based on location. |

| Control | |||||
| Control | 55 | 55 | — | — | Pounds the zone with FB and locates other pitches in zone effectively. Quality of stuff will force him to be precise on edges at higher levels. I'm bullish. |

Overall Summary
Shows ability to throw strikes, control at-bats and command the fastball. Average stuff can play in the back of a rotation as a #5 starter who can generate weak contact. Must hit spots, and projects to do so based on quiet delivery.
