Physical Description: Tall, filled-out frame.
No remaining projection.
Mechanics:
Starts facing third base, even with the bases empty. Takes a
step towards first base before coming up with a high leg kick.
Brings his hands up and briefly separates them before bringing
them together and coming down with an arm swing behind. Throws
from a high-three-quarters arm slot. Average extension.
Fastball: 90-93 mph. Below-average velocity but
good carry, averaging over 19 inches of IVB. Does not miss many
bats. Above-average control.
Slider: 83-87 mph. Most-used
secondary. Appears to be throwing the pitch harder in 2026 after
throwing a slower slider in the low 80s and cutter in the high
80s in 2025.
Splitter: 80-84 mph.
Learned pitch in 2024 with the Tigers. Will show some arm-side
break and drop. Throws the pitch often. Primarily thrown out of
the zone to elicit chase. Best bat-missing pitch often used to
try to put hitters away.
Sweeper: 77-80
mph. Added pitch with the Red Sox. Did not really throw in 2025
but has started to work the pitch into his arsenal in 2026.

Curveball: 76-78 mph. Show-me fourth/fifth
pitch. Vertical break. Thrown sparingly.
Career
Notes: Selected by the Red Sox in the minor league
portion of the 2024 Rule 5 Draft. Performed well at the Double-A
level in 2025 but struggled in brief looks in Triple-A. Has
pitched in a swingman role in the organization, moving between
starting, bulk relief, and short relief. Pitched for Great
Britain in the 2026 World Baseball Classic, turning in a solid
three-inning start against Mexico during pool play.
Summation: Potential organizational depth arm.
Ceiling of an up-and-down arm who can be used in a variety of
roles. Can come up and work in bulk or short-relief roles as
necessary while also being able to fill multiple roles on the
Triple-A roster. Type of arm every system needs.
