Physical Description
Medium, athletic frame; wiry+twitchy build, body gets your attention on the mound, very fast arm.
Mechanical Notes
NWU, stretch only; slow tempo, easy to time up, gives hitters a good look. Long, full arm-circle shows behind body; fluid, whippy 3/4 slot generates easy velo.

Overall Summary
Former OF who just moved to the mound in the last year. Too crude for ML role right now, but plus athleticism and LH velo make him a follow.
