Physical Description: Massive
frame with minimal remaining projection. Imposing presence on
the mound.
Mechanics: Throws from a
three-quarters arm slot. Starts on the extreme first base side
of the rubber. High leg kick. Some effort in his delivery,
including a long arm swing forward. Falls off to the first base
side. Looks like he generates good extension to the plate.
Fastball: 93-94 mph. Power fastball with
bat-missing ability. Gets on hitters quick; shows life at the
top of the zone and sink at the bottom. Average command and
control profile. Generates a lot of weak contact on the ground.
Potential above-average offering.
Slider:
82-85 mph. Long, sweepy shape. More horizontal than vertical,
but will throw some with more depth. Potential average offering.
Splitter: 84-85 mph. Inconsistent, but
flashes bat-missing potential. Will show late, parachuting
action down and away from the barrel. Potential average
offering.

Career Notes: Friday night
starter for Kennesaw State in his first year there. Transferred
to Kennesaw State after spending three years at Southern
Mississippi. Highly regarded high schooler who had 313
strikeouts in 163.1 innings for Franklin County High School.
Chicken farmer.
Summation: Potential
organizational arm. Ceiling of a multi-inning depth reliever.
Lacks a plus pitch, but has three pitches he is comfortable
throwing for strikes and size you do not often see. Really
imposing presence on the mound with an off-putting delivery for
hitters and solid present stuff.
Note: This page
will be updated with a complete scouting report after the
scouting team has seen the player in regular season game action.
