Career
Notes: Pitched at Paris Junior College before
transferring to Pitt. Selected by Toronto in the minor league
phase of the 2019 Rule 5 Draft. Signed with the Mets in November
2024 as a minor league free agent, but was selected by Boston in
the first round of the minor league phase of the Rule 5 Draft
days later after the Mets thought it was unlikely he would be
selected and did not keep him on the Triple-A reserve list.
Missed more than two months beginning in April 2025 with right
shoulder inflammation. Re-signed with the organization before
becoming a minor league free agent following the 2025 season and
received an invitation to major league spring training.
Summation: Potential organizational depth
arm. Has stuck around the high-minors for a while, as he shows
intriguing raw stuff and bat-missing ability, but lack of
consistency and his age limit upside.
