  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Scouting Report: Tall, athletic pitcher's frame. Maxed out physically. Low three-quarter delivery, almost sidearm. 96-98 mph four-seam fastball has maxed out in triple digits. 93-95 mph sinker with heavy sink and armside run, tops out at 96 mph. High-80s slider with two-plane movement. Misses bats. Subpar control and command. Keeps the ball on the ground. Lottery ticket arm who could still develop into a major league depth piece with the right tweaks to his arsenal.
   Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
