| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 50 | — | — | Flashes sequences where all three pitches can stay around the zone. Like many young pitchers, strikethrowing wavers at times. Clean delivery and flashes of control project to continue developing. Long from the stretch, needs to hold runners better. |

Overall Summary
Lottery ticket type of arm that's still 3+ years from ML ready. Has starter traits but requires projection across the board, proximity adds risk.
