  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Lean frame with a good amount of projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Effort in delivery. Medium leg kick. Quick arm.

Fastball: 94-96 mph.

Curveball: 84-86 mph True power curve with tilt and bite.
   Career Notes: Top prep player out of the state of West Virginia in 2017. Missed the end of his senior season with a stress fracture in his right elbow. Had been committed to Kentucky. Missed 2018 season after having Tommy John Surgery in May 2018. Missed second half of 2021 and nearly all of 2022, returning in September and pitching in the Arizona Fall League, due to another undisclosed injury. Missed another 60-plus days with an undisclosed injury between April and June 2023.

Summation: Potential minor league depth arm. Ceiling of an organizational reliever. Has intriguing stuff, but undersized frame and effort in delivery have led to a lot of injuries throughout his career, limiting him to fewer than 50 regular-season innings between his being drafted in 2017 and the end of the 2022 season. Has to show he can stay healthy in order to reach his potential.
