Changeup: 80-82 mph. Did not throw in an outing
scouted in Spring Training 2023.
Career Notes:
Played for Wareham in the 2022 Cape Cod League. Committed to
Auburn as a graduate transfer. Was set to participate in the

Summation: Potential mid-minors
depth arm. Fastball and curveball have some intriguing
characteristics. Other pitches lag behind, but is reportedly
into pitch science and looks to get the most out of his arsenal.
