Physical Description
Tall, built large and broad w/ durable strength throughout. Body type like Chad Green (NYY).
Mechanical Notes
Starts side-saddle and pitches from the stretch. Deceptive closed front side, jumps at hitters w/ a long stride. Compact arm-circle that doesn't show in the back, L3/4 slot. Plus deception, very tough look for righties.

| ChangeUp | 40 | 45 | 87-88 | 87-90 | Overthrows changeup, too firm. Gets short dive to armside at best, but inconsistent and floats it at times. Flashes avg but has a ways to go. Ability to remain a starter hinges on development of third speed. |

Overall Summary
Could be a low-end #5 type if he stays a starter. Low slot and sinker/slider mix could be very effective in setup relief role.
