Physical Description
Short, stocky frame w/ softness through the middle. Already fairly physically developed; limited athlete who will need to keep body in check.
Mechanical Notes
SWU, tall leg kick w/ slight turn at the top, uncoils down the mound and falls off-line at release but repeats well. Full arm-circle into H3/4 slot. Delivery isn’t the prettiest or most athletic but works for him.

ChangeUp | |||||
ChangeUp | 45 | 50 | 82 | 82-84 | Best pitch, separator. Advanced feel, throws at armspeed and mimics FB. Eats up A-Ball competition, projects as effective weapon at ML level. |

Control | |||||
Control | 45 | 50 | — | — | Best attribute, unique ability to fill the zone and limit walks for a pitcher his age. Gets ahead w/ FB early and lands all secondaries for strikes. Will need to nibble and pitch outside the zone more at higher levels given limited stuff. |

Overall Summary
More polish and pitchability than pure stuff, performing in Low-A as a teenager but think he'll hit a ceiling. Control and feel give upside of swingman/spot-starter, though don't see impact for regular ML rotation role.
