Scouting Report: Undersized left-hander with some potential to add strength, but not much projection due to his height. Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, setting up on the third base side of the rubber. Controlled, repeatable arm action. Fastball sits 91-93 mph, lacks plane due to his height. Below-average control and command. Throws an inconsistent curveball that varies from 70-72 mph to 76-78 mph with long, sweeping 1-to-7 break. Pitch shows more potential at the high velocity range. Throws the curveball often, in any count, and works it in and out of the zone. Also throws an 83-84 mph changeup which is on the firm side. Telegraphs the pitch by slowing his arm action. Signed early in the 2015 international signing period, spent two seasons in the complex leagues. Pitched in the Venezuelan Development Program in the Fall of 2017. Profiles as lower minors depth unless he makes significant strides with control and refines at least one of his secondary pitches.
