Physical Description
Medium, athletic frame; wiry, quick-twitch build; V-torso over trim waist. Fast arm.
Mechanical Notes
Pitches from SWU in SP role, saw him in relief and working from the stretch only. Long, full arm-circle that shows in the back; quick 3/4 slot produces velo. Effort throughout, struggles to stay on-line. Mechanics are bullpen only.

Overall Summary
Old-for-level recent SP convert now working from 'pen. Mid-90s FB and effective CH could play in low-leverage relief role. Likely upper-minors depth piece, ceiling of 4A/cup of coffee RP. Follow grade.
