  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Thin, projectable frame. Looks taller and heavier than listed. Could stand to add significantly more muscle.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Starts on the first base side of the rubber. Effortful delivery. Very quick arm. High leg kick. Short strider who had the lowest extension of any Red Sox stateside arm in 2025. Arm-heavy delivery with a stab behind. Lands hard on his front side before releasing the ball from a high release point. Easy to pick up the ball from his current delivery.

Fastball: 93-97 mph. Has hit 100 mph in workouts. High-spin fastball that already flashes bat-missing ability. Needs to throw more consistent strikes.

Slider: 82-86 mph. Primarily secondary pitch with two-plane shape and depth at its best. Already flashes bat-missing ability.
   Changeup: Used inconsistently, but flashed potential when he did throw it.

Career Notes: Minimal bonus signing but pitched in the DSL rotation in his pro debut and caught the eye of scouts at the Complex upon coming stateside, who noted he was one of the top arms on the Red Sox FCL team.

Summation: High-variance arm with upside if he can get stronger. Arm speed stands out and already can run it up into the high-90s. Will flash a usable slider and changeup. Secondaries need work but show potential for his age. Arrow-up prospect who will be an intriguing arm to follow as he transitions to full-season ball.
