  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Average frame. Minimal remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Starts on the third base side of the rubber. Extremely high leg kick which he tucks in behind his glove arm before he comes forward. Long arm action. Significant effort in delivery.

Fastball: 90-94 mph. High spin rate. Command and control are a work in progress.

Slider: 80-84 mph. High spin rate. Sweepy shape. Had a very high whiff rate in college.

Changeup: Mid-80s. Third pitch.
  Career Notes: Has battled injuries throughout his career. Was a highly regarded member of the 2019 draft class out of high school, ranked as high as the top 50 in the class at times, but opted to attend Auburn after an injury-plagued senior spring caused his stock to fall. Both sophomore and junior seasons ended prematurely due to injury, the latter injury resulting in Tommy John surgery that led to his not making his professional debut until August 2023.

Summation: Potential relief arm with an intriguing two-pitch mix. Somewhat of a gamble due to his significant injury history, including a Tommy John surgery he was still rehabbing when he signed, but was a highly regarded high schooler and was able to succeed in the SEC.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
