Released (May 2020)

Physical Description: Large frame. Looks bigger than listed height and weight. Minimal remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a high-three quarters arm slot from the third base side of the rubber. Rigid, jerky delivery. Very long arm action. Long arm swing behind. Lot of moving parts. Stiff side, doesn’t effectively use his lower half. Struggles to repeat his delivery. Very inconsistent release point. Poor control.

Fastball: 88-90 mph. Lacks command and control. Fastball lacks life.

Curveball: 77-79 mph. Long, 2-to-8 shape. Tends to roll to the plate, lacks depth or tight rotation.

Changeup: 83-84 mph. On the firm side. Shows cut on occasion.

Career Notes: Signed late as a 20-year old. Impressed in the DSL during the 2018 season.  Participated in Fall Instructional League in 2019.

Summation: Needs to make significant improvement with his command and control to get out of the low minors. Stuff is below-average at present and minimal projection. Lacks feel on the mound, tends to fight delivery.
