| Control | |||||
| Control | 30 | 40 | — | — | FB/SL two-pitch mix. Can keep both around the zone in best sequences, but elevates frequently. Fairly predictable mix, could use another wrinkle, RP-only control profile. |

Overall Summary
Athletic frame w/ projection remaining to stuff; FB runs to mid-90s w/ hard SL that could be a playable pitch. Not a full-fledged prospect yet but has interesting 'pen ingredients. Follow grade.
