  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Filled out, mature frame. Sturdy lower half.

Mechanics: Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot. Drop-and-drive delivery with considerable effort.

Fastball: Low-to-mid-90s fastball that plays up in the zone. Pitch has shown bat-missing ability. Solid command and control.

Slider: Shorter, horizontal slider/cutter hybrid pitch.

Curveball: Long, vertical breaking ball that will flash depth.
   Career Notes: Started his career at Wabash Valley Community College where he spent two years before transferring to South Carolina, where he spent two seasons before transfering to Western Kentucky as a graduate student.

Summation: Pure relief prospect with intriguing pitch characteristics. Stuff grades out well on models. Has shown strike-throwing and bat-missing ability in college. Gets the most out of his stuff and could move quickly in a pure relief role.

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