Physical Description
Sturdy, stocky frame, strength in backside; athletic actions.
Mechanical Notes
High-effort NWU, from 3/4; belt-high leg raise, hard push, stays over mound, stays closed, lands even, lacks stability, tilts to clear late arm. Arm action: choppy, stiff break and arm circle, clears arm late, plus arm strength, looses line and falls off to 1B.

Overall Summary
Player is largely finished product based on age and size. Lacks command and control to trust beyond situational relief. FB/SL combo will yield weak contact, some swing and miss when he locates FB well enough to blow it by them.
