  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Very tall, imposing frame. Has remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three quarters arm slot. High leg kick. Arm heavy delivery with minimal moving parts. Long arm action with a slight stab behind before coming forward across his body.

Fastball: Low-90s. Reportedly has topped out at 97 mph.

Slider: Mid-80s. Two-plane shape. Good depth. Showed bat-missing potential in college.

Changeup: Thrown infrequently, but shows fade.
  Career Notes: Pitched for four years at Louisiana-Monroe. Drafted in the eighth round in 2023 but did not make pro debut. Acquired from New York with Richard Fitts and Greg Weissert for Alex Verdugo in December 2023. After trade, did not make his debut until May 28 for non-baseball-related reasons. After two rehab starts in the FCL, was assigned to Salem but did not pitch due to elbow soreness, eventually hitting the IL, and did not return until late August.

Summation: Intriguing developmental arm. Has size you can't teach and intriguing raw stuff, but needs to harness it. Has yet to debut in professional ball, so projection is very fluid.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
