Physical Description: Sturdy
frame. Looks bigger than his listed height and weight and has
gotten stronger since he signed.
Mechanics:
Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Rhythmic delivery. Starts
on the first base side of the rubber. High leg kick. Short arm
action back with a stab, but hides the ball well. Quick arm
action coming forward. Gets above-average extension.
Fastball: 93-95 mph. Tops out at 96 mph.
Velocity has ticked up a little each year. Pitch gets on hitters
quickly due to his high extension. Potential above-average
offering with refined command and control.
Curveball: 74-78 mph. Advanced feel. Vertical shape
with depth. Can really snap it off and has shown the ability to
either bury it down and out of the zone or land it in the zone.
Slider: 84-85 mph. 10-to-4 break. Good
shape. At its best, shows two-plane break and bite.

Changeup: 84-85 mph. Deceptive arm speed. Some
late fade.
Career Notes: Was set to
participate in the 2022 Fall Performance Program that was
canceled due to Hurricane Ian.
Summation:
Potential organizational arm. Still has a relatively wide range
of potential outcomes, as he has seen his velocity improve each
year and has some traits teams look for. Secondaries need
refinement, but shows solid control already. Command lags behind
at present. Fastball and curveball give him a solid baseline to
miss bats at the lower levels, but needs to continue to develop
the rest of his arsenal.
Note: This page will be
updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team
has seen the player in regular season game action.
