Physical Description: Average
frame, no remaining projection.
Mechanics:
Throws from a high-three quarters arm slot. Significant effort
in delivery. Quiet lower-half early, then explodes toward the
plate with a quick arm. Has done a lot of work in pro ball on
simplifying his mechanics.
Fastball:
91-94 mph. Tops out at 96. Fastball is on the straight side and
has struggled to miss bats. Pitches up in the zone too often and
has had issues limiting home runs. Added two-seam fastball in
2015 but apparently scrapped the pitch, per Statcast data.
Cutter: 86-88 mph. Hard pitch that breaks
late. Added pitch in 2016 and it became his primary secondary
pitch. Didn't throw in limited stint in the 2019 Arizona Fall
League as part of his rehab process, but planned to
re-incorporate the pitch in 2020.
Changeup:
83-85 mph. Throws with deceptive arm speed. Shows late drop.
Curveball: 77-79 mph. True overhand breaker
with depth when he snaps it off. Had used sparingly in 2017 and
2018.

Career Notes: Originally
drafted by the Red Sox out of high school in the 16th round of
the 2011 draft. Second-round pick of the Athletics in 2014 after
spending three years at Clemson, where he was First-Team All-ACC
as a junior. Underwent Tommy John surgery in August 2018.
Returned in 2019 Arizona Fall League, but did not reincorporate
cutter at that time, using the opportunity to focus on his
changeup and curveball. Released by Oakland during the 2020
season after spending time at their alternate training site.
Opened 2021 season at the Alternate Training Site.
Summation: Projects as an organizational
depth starter. Projection is fluid because it is still not yet
clear how his stuff looks after completing his rehab from
surgery. Has yet to show the ability to consistently get out
major league hitters, but is the type of depth arm every
organization needs with upside for a little more than that.
Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting
report after the scouting team has seen the player in game
action.
