Physical Description: Tall,
physical frame. Sturdy lower half. Some remaining projection in
his upper body.
Mechanics: Throws from a
three-quarters arm slot starting slightly towards the first base side
of the rubber. Controlled delivery, simple delivery with no
wind-up. Steps towards the first base side before coming across
his body. Arm hook behind, but otherwise has a relatively clean
arm action. Short strider with a higher release.
Fastball: 89-92 mph. Topped out at 94 mph in college.
Solid command and control profile. Pitch has life and a flatter
approach angle. Also throws a sinker with long, arm-side run.
Slider: 81-85 mph. 2-to-8 shape with tilt and
depth at its best. More of a sweepy breaking ball. Able to land
in the zone or bury down and out of the zone when looking for
whiffs.

Changeup: 80-82 mph. Shows drop and fade at its best.
Pitch had a high whiff rate in college, but mainly because of
chase. Not a pitch he could consistently land in the zone.
Career Notes: Also played
bocce in high school. Father played soccer at LaSalle College.
Summation: Tall left-hander with a
pitchability-over-stuff profile, but the type of arm the Red
Sox have had success elevating as of late. Has a frame
that suggests he could throw harder and a solid three-pitch mix to
build on, with all showing bat-missing ability and having
interesting traits.
Note: This page will be
updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team
has seen the player in person.
