Physical Description
Tall w/ narrow, thin, sloped frame. Won't ever be overly physical. Built like Chandler Day (WSH).
Mechanical Notes
Deliberate SWU; slight shoulder tilt through drive, plunge arm-circle, arm is long in the back and shows behind him. Fast H3/4 release.

| Fastball Velocity | 55 | 60 | 93-94 | 92-97 | Consistent 93-94, scrapes 96-97 on best bolts. Wonder if narrow frame holds velo over a long pro season. Could be consistent 94-97 in short stints. |

| Fastball Command | |||||
| Fastball Command | 40 | 40 | — | — | FB around zone w/ more control than true command. Often up, catches plate, not consistent to either side. Less pressure on in-zone location in relief. |

| Curveball | |||||
| Curveball | 40 | 45 | 76-77 | 76-78 | Consistent depth, though bite on it is fairly soft. Gets loose at times and rolls in. Projects as workable off-speed pitch, but not a bat-misser. |

| Slider | |||||
| Slider | 40 | 45 | 81-82 | 80-83 | Throws harder version of his CB for closer to a true SL. More feel for it than CH, better chance to develop into usable wrinkle. |

| ChangeUp | |||||
| ChangeUp | 30 | 40 | 82-83 | 82-85 | Slowed arm, tentative finishing it; floated when left up in the zone and was hit hard; slightly better action when thrown at armspeed, but limited overall feel. |

| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 40 | — | — | Predictable sequencing, hard early and off-speed when ahead. Under mandate to work on CH and threw often. Lands FB more consistently than off-speed. Standard RP control profile. |

Overall Summary
Hard-throwing SP lacking pitchability or control/command to remain in rotation long-term. Projects better in relief, where velo can play up. Middle relief ceiling, FB can get him there but don't see swing/miss secondary for leverage innings.
