| Curveball | 40 | 50 | 78-79 | 77-80 | Lacked feel for pitch early but found later in game, lacked consistency, at best showed tight 1/7 shape with sharp movement and action. Can develop into average CB w/ more reps and facing lineups once. |

| ChangeUp | 40 | 45 | 84-85 | 84-86 | Future fringe-average offering, inconsistent arm speed but can use v. RHH, similar movement to FB but struggled to locate in viewing as it was often spiked, better later in game. Will be a usable option to RHH out of the bullpen. |

Overall Summary
Lacks the control/command to start, but can ride plus velocity to middle relief role. Effort in delivery and struggles in the rotation add risk to profile.
