Physical
Description:
Lean, tall frame. Minimal projection
remaining. Very athletic.
Mechanics:
Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Mechanics are a work in
progress. Struggles to find a consistent release point and
repeat arm slot. Starts standing tall on the third base side of
the rubber. Utilizes a high leg kick and short arm action. Lot
of moving parts in his delivery. Very quick arm. Arm tends to
get out of sync from the rest of his delivery.
Fastball: 93-97 mph. Reportedly tops out at 100 mph.
Pitch is straight. Plus-plus velocity, but needs to make
significant strides with his command and control. Velocity
varies greatly from outing to outing. Will sit 95-97 in one
outing, but then only 91-93 in the next. Needs to improve
consistency with his fastball as he moves up the ladder.
Potential plus-to-better pitch.
Slider:
84-88 mph. Inconsistent pitch. Will show two-plane shape on
occasion. Still developing feel. At its best will flash plus
potential, but on other occasions will be a below-average pitch.
Changeup: 83-85 mph. Slows arm. Will show
drop. Has thrown less often over time, now rarely throws it.

Career Notes:
Converted to pitching in 2018 after
four seasons as an outfielder in which he showed no progress at
the plate despite impressive tools. Athleticism showed on
defense, but at time of conversion showed only a rudimentary
offensive approach and could get over-aggressive. Struggled
against velocity. Although he was a potential plus defender with
plus speed, his plus arm won out in the end, leading to his
conversion. Participated in 2018 Fall Instructional League.
Participated in the 2014, 2015, and 2016 Fall Instructional
Leagues as an outfielder. Added to the 40-man roster following
the 2019 season despite having pitched only a handful of games
in High A. Was the only player on the 40-man roster not added to
the Club Player Pool in 2020.
Summation: Very raw at
present, but an intriguing project with major league relief
potential. Already shows premium velocity from the left side and
athleticism that give him a chance. Needs a lot of work to
become a pitcher; more of a thrower right now. Big gap between
his ceiling and his floor at present. Very inconsistent; will
dominate in one outing, then completely lose the zone and/or
velocity in the next. Developing fastball command and control
and refining his slider will be keys to his development.
