Physical Description: Tall, projectable frame.
Long limbs, lot of room for growth as he physically matures.
Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm
slot, starting on the third base side of the rubber.
Drop-and-drive delivery. Lower release height. Quick arm.
Fastball: 95-98 mph. Tops out at 99 mph.
Easy velocity. Fastball has a lot of movement. Average IVB and
heavy arm-side run. Pitch will show bat-missing ability.
Potential plus-to-better offering.
Slider:
77-81 mph. Slurvy shape with two-plane break. Inconsistent shape
at present, but at its best will show depth and tight rotation.
Changeup: 83-85 mph. Work in progress.
Nice shape, but struggles to execute the pitch presently. Will
flash bat-missing potential.

Career Notes: Per reports, was the first
professional baseball player signed from Antigua and Barbuda.
Represented Antigua and Barbuda in 2017 in the Caribbean
Pre-World Series Little League Baseball Tournament. Repeated the
DSL in 2023 and missed the first 7 1/2 weeks of the season for
undisclosed reasons. Popped up early in the 2024 FCL season,
going from relatively unknown straight into the top 30 of the
SoxProspects.com rankings shortly before being promoted to
Salem..
Summation: High-variance arm with
considerable remaining projection. Unclear if he is a starter or
reliever long-term, but has the stuff at worst to profile as a
very intriguing bullpen arm. If command and secondaries continue
to develop, has starter potential. Has a projectable frame and
standout velocity for his age, but secondaries lag behind.
Sources differ on whether breaking ball or changeup has more
long-term potential. Both flash already, but are inconsistent.
