  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Tall, lanky frame. Will always be on the thin side, but has some remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Medium-high leg kick. Low release height for someone with his size. Above-average extension. Lots of moving parts in his delivery due to his size. Inconsistent delivery that he struggles to repeat.

Fastball: 93-96 mph. Tops out at 98 mph. Intriguing fastball characteristics with ride and run and a flat approach angle. Plays up in the zone and shows bat-missing ability. Struggles to throw the pitch for strikes. Control has a ways to go.

Slider: 83-86 mph. Shape varies. Some are shorter with two-plane shape, others are longer with more tilt than depth. Needs to find more consistency with the pitch.
  Career Notes: Signed for well over slot following the 2021 draft. Has struggled with injuries throughout his career. Had Tommy John surgery during the 2025 season. Selected in the minor league phase of the 2025 Rule 5 draft.

Summation: Interesting flier relief arm with good size, extension, and fastball shape. Strike throwing is a major work in progress. Still in the early stages of developing as a pitcher, but has pedigree as a former overslot high school draftee. Unlikely to return to the mound until late 2026 after undergoing Tommy John surgery during the 2025 season.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
