	Scouting Report & Links

	Physical Description: Thicker, filled-out frame, especially in his lower half. No remaining projection Mechanics: Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot. Substantial effort. Long arm action. Comes across his body and is very deceptive against right-handed hitters. Slider: 79-82 mph. Plus pitch, heavy usage. Sweeping two-plane movement. Fastball: 93-96 mph. Throws both a four-seam and sinker at about the same velocity and release point, the sinker just has more movement to it. Average potential for both pitches.. Previously threw a low 90s cutter, has seemingly phased that pitch out of his arsenal.		Changeup: 83-86 mph. Shows late fade down and away from lefties. Show-me pitch. Career Notes: Rated as having the best slider in the Yankees' system in 2021. Was the International League Pitcher of the Year in 2022. Acquired from New York with Richard Fitts and Nicholas Judice for Alex Verdugo in December 2023. Summation: Potential solid depth reliever. Ceiling of a middle reliever. Has a funky delivery and bat-missing ability with his fastball and slider combo, but held back by inconsistent command. Links -
