Scouting Report: High 3/4 delivery. Right-hander relies heavily on a very nice 90-92 mph sinker that tops out at 93 mph. Also features a currently average 77 mph curveball that has major-league potential in the future and a low-80s changeup that tends to float. Fluid mechanics. Poised and gritty on the mound.
