| Fastball | |||||
| Fastball | 60 | 60 | 90-95 | 96 | Life in the zone; tail to both sides, but really takes off arm side and down. Gets glove side ok, but will have misses leak back over the middle of the plate. Efforty arm action plays up the life. |

| Slider | 45 | 50 | 80-84 | 84 | 3/4 break with finish for put-away. Backs off a bit to throw for strikes; will get big, gradual when used in the zone. Has some feel, can see more consistency coming , chance to generate some chase. |

Overall Summary
Max-effort RHRP with a plus fastball and ability to generate some chase with two average secondary pitches. Track record of generating swing and miss. Will get chase with both changeup and slider; effort in delivery adds some deception. Below-average command, creates his own trouble, but tough to square up when he's on. Changeup is a weapon vs LHH.
