  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Average frame with minimal remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Starts slightly toward the third base side of the rubber. Effortful delivery. Medium leg kick. Gets small before coming forward. Crossfire delivery with a long arm action.

Fastball: 92-94 mph. Fastballs thrown are almost exclusively sinkers with some late downward movement. Command and control need refinement. Potential fringe-average offering.

Cutter: 86-89 mph. Short, horizontal movement. Potential fringe-average offering.

Sweeper: 80-82 mph. Long, horizontal break. Throws frequently. Potential below-average offering.
  Changeup: 84-86 mph. Pitch shows some fade and drop. Inconsistent feel. Potential below-average offering.

Career Notes: Failed to impress at the complex and A-ball levels before being released by San Diego in 2023. Signed with the independent Evansville Otters, but signed with Boston in April 2024 on the eve of that club’s spring training.

Summation: Projects as a mid-minors organizational arm. Ceiling of a high-minors depth arm. Lacks a carrying pitch to consistently get more advanced bats out. Pitches backwards at times and does a good job mixing his pitches.
