  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Small, filled-out frame.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot starting on the third base side of the rubber. Full wind-up, but starts with his feet in a stretch position. Short extension to the plate. Jerky delivery with some deception.

Fastball: 88-90 mph. Above-average command and control profile. Throws strikes and can locate in all quadrants in the zone.

Slider: 83-84 mph. 2-to-8 shape. Two-plane break.

Changeup: 79-80 mph. Good separation from fastball.
   Career Notes: Four-year starter for Fairfield. Played two seasons with Bourne in the Cape Cod League. Not drafted out of college. Spent two seasons in the Rays organization before catching on with the Yolo High Wheelers of the Pioneer League. Signed with Boston in April 2024.

Summation: Potential mid-minors depth arm. Throws consistent strikes and mixes pitches well to keep hitters off balance. Great arm to have in the system because he is able to pitch efficiently and keep a team in the game in a variety of roles.

​​Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in regular season game action.
