  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Scouting Report: Extra large, durable frame. No remaining projection. Throws from a 3/4 arm slot. Lots of upper body effort in delivery, doesn't stay balanced, sweeps his right leg somewhat violently after pitch release. Arsenal includes a 93-95 mph four-seamer, an 85-87 mph slider, a 92-94 mph sinker, and a rarely-used show-me 85-87 mph changeup. Triple-A emergency depth arm.
