Released (May 2020)

Physical Description: Athletic, average frame. On the thin side at present, but doesn’t have a frame that looks like it can support significant weight gain.

Mechanics: Throws from a three quarters arm slot from. Starts on the first base side. Effort in delivery. Comes across body and jerkiness in delivery gives some deception. Makes his body small before coming forward. Average arm speed. Long arm action. Inconsistent release point.

Fastball: 90-91 mph. Usually around the zone. Lacks life, hittable when up. Fringe-average potential.

Curveball: 76-77 mph. 11-to-5 shape. Lacks tilt. On the short side. Below-average potential.

Changeup: 82-84 mph. Thrown with deceptive arm speed when at its best. Inconsistent. Firm at times, but shows drop on others. Potential fringe-average offering.

Slider: Showed a 80-82 mph slider in one 2019 outing scouted with similar shape to his curveball. May have been trying to tweak pitch mix, was not throwing the pitch earlier in the month. Inconsistent.

Summation: Solid low-minors depth arm. Professional approach, strong makeup. Type of arm you can bounce between levels as needed to plug gaps.
