Retired (Dec. 2021)

Physical Description: Large filled-out frame. No remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot, starting on the first base side of the rubber. Pitches exclusively from the stretch. Medium leg kick, compact delivery. Short arm action.

Fastball: 88-90 mph. Sat 93-95 mph in college, but has not shown that kind of velocity in pro ball. Pitch shows some arm-side run. Command and control are works in progress. Potential below-average offering.

Curveball: 75-76 mph. Long, 11-to-5 shape. Flashes depth when he snaps it off. Potential average offering.

Slider: 83-85 mph. Short, horizontal break. Potential below-average offering.

Career Notes: Started 2021 season in Low-A before being sent down to the Complex in July, mostly due to roster number issues rather than poor performance. Returned to Salem in September.

Summation: Potential low-minors depth arm. Pedestrian arsenal with diminished velocity in pro ball. If velocity returns, he becomes more intriguing, but until then projects as nothing more than a depth arm.
