  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Average frame with some projection. Looks bigger than his listed weight.

Mechanics: Short strider with effort in his delivery.

Fastball: 90-93 mph. Tops out at 96 mph. Pitch shows heavy sink and generates a lot of weak contact on the ground. Heavy pitch that can be very effective at the bottom of the strike zone. Below-average command and control. Potential above-average offering

Curveball: 74-77 mph. Long, vertical shape. Will flash bat-missing ability at times, but is inconsistent. Average potential.

  Changeup: 85-88 mph. Firm. Lacks movement and feel. Below-average potential.

Career Notes: Participated in the Fall Performance Program in 2021. FCL Opening Day starter in 2022. Took four years from signing to getting out of the complex leagues. Earned a promotion to Salem at the end of the 2022 FCL season. Selected by the White Sox in the minor league phase of the 2023 Rule 5 Draft.

Summation: Potential up-and-down relief arm. Sinker will play, but has to show he can consistently locate it and find consistency with his breaking ball to give it a good compliment. Intriguing arm with untapped potential who could use a move to the bullpen to unlock it.
