  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Scouting Report: Large, maxed out frame. Easy over-the-top delivery with a high leg kick. Primary pitches are a mid-80s slider and a 93-95 mph cutter. Slider has heavy drop and glove side movement. High velo cutter has interesting movement, feels like it has rise to it. Also mixes in a sinker, curveball, and splitter. Triple-A rotation depth capable of making a big league start here and there. Was optioned with consent in June 2024. Refused option in August 2024 and became a free agent, but re-signed with the Red Sox on a minor league contract.
