  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Scouting Report: Tall, athletic frame. A lot of remaining projection. Very good control. Throws a 89-91 mph sinker, a low-80s changeup that is his best pitch and had a high whiff rate in college, and a 79-81 mph slider. Grew up in Hanover, Mass. as a Red Sox fan and attended BC High. Played for Harwich in the Cape Cod League in 2023. Transferred to North Carolina to face better competition after an excellent sophomore season at Elon. Struggled a bit in the preseason at UNC and had to be shut down to build arm strength. Had reverse splits in college.
  Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
