Scouting Report: Medium frame
with a sturdy lower half. Solid pitcher's build with some
remaining projection in his upper body.
Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot
starting on the third base side of the rubber. Effortful
delivery with a lot of moving parts. Jerky, longer arm action.
Medium-high leg kick and slight trunk twist before coming
forward. Arm-heavy delivery, then lands stiff. Loose, live arm.
Fastball: 92-94 mph. Tops out at 95 mph.
Average life. Command and control is work in progress.
Curveball: 77-79 mph. Vertical, 12-to-6 shape.
Advanced feel for spin.
Sweeper: 80-82
mph. Long, horizontal break. Nice shape. Pitch flashes
bat-missing ability.

Changeup: 85-87
mph. Pitch shows late fade. Solid feel, able to pull the string
on it. Thrown with deceptive arm speed. Shows confidence in the
pitch and is willing to throw to both right- and left-handed
hitters.
Career Notes: Missed two months in 2023 with a
sprained UCL and his final three starts in 2024 due to a
shoulder injury. Received Boston's lone Day 3 over-slot bonus in
the 2024 draft class. Was viewed as a consensus top-200 draft
prospect, but injury history and inconsistency likely pushed him
out of the first ten rounds.
Summation:
Right-hander with an intriguing four-pitch mix with advanced
feel for his secondary offerings. Able to pitch backwards using
his fastball as a change-of-pace pitch. Throws two breaking
balls with distinct shapes and changeup shows impressive
bat-missing ability. Has much better stuff than the typical Day
3 draftee, but is inconsistent from outing to outing. If
fastball quality improves, could profile as a starter, but has a
solid fallback in the bullpen, where his stuff could really play
up.
