Tall, well-proportioned, work-horse frame; strength in lower half with limited projection left; 10-15 pounds bigger than listed 210.

Straightforward semi-windup from 3/4 slot with mild effort at release. Long arm action with above-avg armspeed; stays tall and gets downhill, online to plate; slight tilt to clear arm; repeatable delivery.

| ChangeUp | |||||
| ChangeUp | 40 | 45 | 85 | 83-86 | Playable because of separation from FB but pitch lacks fade and plays straight with minimal drop; doesn't use it much. Should get to fringy with dev focus. |

Overall Summary
Lacks repertoire for surefire SP role. Quality FB and CB allow stuff to play to weak contact in a #6-7 SP role. Has frame and delivery to eat innings.
