Physical Description: Average
height, lean frame. Solid athlete. Has remaining projection.
Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm
slot. Short strider with a long arm action. Arm gets through
quickly. Release point and delivery are inconsistent at times.
Some deception in delivery.
Fastball:
92-94 mph. Tops out at 96 mph. Shape varies. The majority have
arm-side run. Throws strikes, solid long-term command and
control profile.
Cutter: 90-92 mph.
Throws frequently. Short, horizontal break.
Slider: 83-86 mph. Two-plane break. Flashes bat-missing
ability. Primary out pitch. Able to miss bats in the zone and
get chases with it.
Changeup: Flashed
potential in the DSL, but has rarely thrown it in 2025.

Career Notes: Signed late, at
age 18. Acquired from San Francisco along with Kyle Harrison,
Jordan Hicks, and James Tibbs in exchange for Rafael Devers in
June 2025.
Summation: Intriguing
right-hander whose career got off to a slow start, but has shown
solid stuff and bat-missing ability in the complex leagues.
Still learning how to pitch. Arsenal and size point towards the
bullpen long-term. Slider has above-average potential and has
shown strong bat-missing ability in the low minors. Solid
ability to manipulate his fastball and keep hitters off it, and
generates a lot of weak contact on the ground. To have a chance
to start, needs to find a pitch to consistently get left-handed
hitters out.
Note: This page will be
updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team
has seen the player in person.
