Physical Description:
Tall, lanky right-hander. Unlikely to fill out more.
Mechanics:
Clean, quiet three-quarters delivery, but arm angle is not
consistent for each pitch.
Fastball:
Throws an
above-average 91-92 mph sinker with really good spin and an
88-90 mph cutter. Doesn't paint corners, goes at hitters.
Slider: 81-83 mph. Mixes in on hitters' counts.
Changeup: 84-87 mph, keeps hitters off balance.

Career
Notes:
Two-way
player in college. Third cousin of Joe and Dom DiMaggio. Had
surgery on his right arm in 2013. Suffered a broken wrist in
2014. After being cut by the Twins in 2015 and Marlins in 2018,
spent time in independent ball in 2018 before signing with the
Mariners. Was a minor league Rule 5 pick of the Mets in 2019.
Summation:
Organizational depth who has experience both starting and
working in relief. Ceiling of an up-and-down arm who can pitch
in multiple roles. Limited upside, but solid depth.
