Physical Description: Medium, filled-out frame.
No remaining projection.
Mechanics:
Throws from a three-quarters arm slot starting on the first base
side. Substantial effort in delivery with an inverted W. Medium
leg kick. Rigid actions with a short stab behind that hides the
ball. Varies time to the plate, especially with runners on base.
Inconsistent release point at times.
Fastball:
94-96 mph. Tops out at 97 mph. Can reach back for higher
velocities in late-game situations. Pitch jumps on hitters. Also
mixes in a sinker in the 92-94 mph range on occasion. Primarily
relied on the sinker in college. Potential
average offering.
Slider: 84-87 mph.
Short, 10-to-4 shape. Inconsistent feel. Will flash tight
rotation, but others are on the loose side. Potential
fringe-average offering.
Curveball:
80-81 mph. 11-to-5 shape. Fringy depth. Worked on developing a
different kind of curveball in the Arizona Fall League in 2024. Potential below-average
offering.

Changeup: 85-88 mph. Straight change with late
drop. Throws often, has confidence in the pitch. Potential
fringe-average offering if he can find more consistency.
Career Notes: Undrafted as a fifth-year senior
in 2023. Transferred to Mt. St. Mary's from Maryland-Baltimore
County. Threw just 89-92 mph when he graduated from college, but
worked out with Tread Athletics and was up to 95-96 mph at
Tread’s pro day in January 2024, from which he signed with the
Red Sox.
Summation: Projects as a
mid-minors depth reliever. Ceiling of an organizational
reliever. Stuff has ticked up some in a relief role, but
struggles to consistently miss bats. Needs to find a go-to
secondary pitch to compliment his fastball, as his entire
secondary arsenal is on the fringy side.
