Physical Description: Large
frame, sturdy lower half. No remaining projection.
Mechanics: Throws from a high-three-quarters arm slot,
starting on the third base side of the rubber. Steps toward
first base and finishes with back leg continuing in that
direction. Has some hesitation and East-West movement in his
delivery. Repeatable actions.
Fastball:
91-94 mph four-seamer. Not a lot of movement. Below-average
control.
Splitter: 82-84 mph split
changeup with arm-side fade and slight drop. Plus pitch,
indistinguishable release point from his fastball, good
separation. Could stand to use the pitch more.
Slider: 83-86 mph slider. Heavy use. Fringe-average
pitch. Cuts glove side, falls off the table late. Misses bats.

Curveball: Show-me 78-81 mph curveball. Heavy

Career
Notes: Drafted by Tampa Bay in 2011, foregoing a
commitment Cal State Fullerton. Was a top ten prospect in the
Rays system in 2017. Missed extended time in 2018 due to an
oblique strain. Has shown flashes of major league success with
three different organizations. Recalled to Boston twice during
the 2023 MLB season for very short stints, appearing in one game
and clearing waivers after each. Released in July.
Summation:
Triple-A depth with versatility to start or come out of the pen.
Control issues have limited opportunities.
