  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Wirey-strong, athletic frame.

Mechanics: High-effort mechanics from a 3/4 arm slot. Hitchy, off-balanced delivery lacks consistent release point. Looks away from the plate at release.

Fastball: Live arm, fastball sits 97-99 mph with some armside run. Poor command, below-average control. Induces weak contact.

Slider: Mid-80s, flashes plus. Inconsistent.
  Changeup: Below-average 84-85 mph split changeup. Changeup gets good separation from his fastball, but lacks location.

Career Notes: Brother Euclides pitched in the White Sox system. Pitched at the Alternate Training Site for most of 2020 before being called up to make his MLB debut on August 31.

Summation: Projects as upper minors depth unless he significantly improves control and command, whcih could require mechanical tweaks.
