Physical Description: Small,
undersized frame. Minimal projection even though he is on the
thin side. Could stand to add upper body strength.
Mechanics: Throws from a high three-quarters
arm slot. Starts on the third base side of the rubber with hands
at his waist. Jerky, effortful delivery. High leg kick and
slight trunk twist. Slight stab behind before whipping his arm
forward. Loose, quick arm. Head whack. Some deception as he
keeps his arm hidden behind his body. Average extension. Repeats
delivery.
Fastball: 94-97 mph. Tops out
at 98 mph. Pitch shows sink and cut on occasion when he drops
his arm slot. Does a good job keeping the ball down and
generates a lot of weak contact. Above-average control but
below-average command at present. Has shown the ability at times
to command the pitch arm-side, but glove-side command is more
inconsistent. Velocity jumped from 91-93 mph at the 2020 Fall
Instructional League. Velocity tended to fall off in later
innings as a starter, but is not an issue out of the bullpen.
Potential plus-to-better pitch.
Curveball:
83-87 mph. Advanced feel. 11-to-5 break. Elite spin rate, among
highest in the system. Pitch has tight rotation and depth when
he snaps it off. Has feel and confidence in offering. Willing to
throw in any count to hitters from both sides of the plate.
MLB-quality out pitch. Velocity ticked up at Fall Instructional
League proportionally to fastball; used to sit 79-83 mph.
Potential plus-to-better pitch.
|
|
Split-Finger Fastball: 88-92
mph. On the firm side and lacks separation from fastball. Will
show drop on occasion. Clear third pitch that is still in
development. Replaced changeup in repertoire. Potential
fringe-average pitch.
Career
Notes: Older international signee at 18 years old, then
spent three years in the complex leagues before breaking out as
a starter in 2018 in Lowell. Was a candidate to be added to the
40-man roster after the 2019 season, but was not added and was
not selected in the Rule 5 Draft. Participated in 2018 and 2020
Fall Instructional League. Had a breakout showing at 2020 Fall
Instructional League that led to his addition to the 40-man
roster. Began 2021 season at the Alternate Training Site.
Summation: Projects as a middle
reliever with the ceiling of a late-inning bullpen arm.
Drastically improved velocity shown at 2020 Fall Instructional
League has changed projection. Potential for plus-to-better
fastball and curveball with jerky, deceptive delivery could play
in high-leverage innings. Needs to improve fastball command and
improve consistency with his breaking ball in order to reach his
ceiling.
