Physical Description
Tall, long-limbed frame has added good muscle in last year. Strong, lean build that’s ideal for pitching and has remaining projection.
Mechanical Notes
Clean, simple SWU w/ on-line finish and minimal effort throughout. Soft plunge to start arm-circle w/ slight wrist hook visible on backside; free-and-easy 3/4 slot projects large. Frame and operation for future plus delivery.

| Overall Fastball Value | 45 | 55 | — | — | FB could be above-avg pitch w/ continued gains in velo and command. Size and angle here to play it up even if he’s not overpowering. |

| Fastball Velocity | 50 | 55 | 92 | 90-94 | Avg present velo, settles in at 91-92 but holds throughout starts. Body type to add a tick more as he finishes filling out. |

| Slider | |||||
| Slider | 40 | 50 | 82 | 80-84 | Sweepy slurve tilt, shows to both RHH/LHH. Consistent action that tunnels well off FB; broke off a few w/ nice depth and found more feel as outing progressed. |

| ChangeUp | |||||

| Cutter | |||||
| Cutter | 40 | 45 | 87 | 86-88 | New wrinkle to arsenal that could bail out lack of third pitch if CH doesn’t develop. Short gloveside action w/ fair overall break, projects as usable show-me back through lineups. |

| Control | |||||
| Control | 40 | 50 | — | — | Leans heavily on FB first time through; SL is go-to secondary, has feel to land it; will need more third pitch to face LHH in rotation role. Slow from stretch, still learning to control running game. Poised mound presence w/ bloodlines and professional demeanor. |

Overall Summary
Risk/reward type that requires projection and will take time. Ceiling of #4 SP w/ continued development and improved third pitch. Just starting to grow into his body and scratch the surface—trending in the right direction, has made gains across the board since 2018 looks.
