  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Tall, athletic pitcher's frame. No remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, starting on the first base side of the rubber. High leg kick, puts a lot of effort on his arm.

Fastball: 91-94 mph sinker. Heavy sink. Uses the pitch about two-thirds of the time. Solid command of the pitch.

Slider: 77-80 mph. Primary secondary pitch. Good vertical drop and sweeping horizontal movement.

Changeup: Show-me low-80s changeup. On the flat side. Not heavily utilized. 		  Career Notes: Dual United States and Mexican citizen. Drafted in the 26th round in 2014. Spent time in the Mexican League in 2019-2021. Also spent time with the independent Winnipeg Goldeyes of the American Association and Tigres de Aragua of the Venezuelan Winter League. Drove an Uber to make ends meet. Made his MLB debut with Seattle in 2022.

Summation: Profiles as a Triple-A depth left-hander who could excel at the major league level in limited bursts.
