Physical Description: Tall,
medium frame. Good athlete with a solid starter's build. Sturdy
lower half. Has some projection remaining in his upper body as
he adds strength.
Mechanics: Throws
from a three-quarters arm slot, starting on the first base side
of the rubber. Controlled, repeatable delivery. High leg kick.
Slight hook behind, but otherwise arm action works. Lands on
line to the plate. Short strider with low extension.
Fastball: 93-96 mph. Tops out at 97 mph.
Velocity has steadily increased since he signed and jumped
substantially in 2025 from the low-90s to mid-90s. Throws both
four-seam and two-seam variations. Four-seam shows some life up,
while two-seam has arm-side run and sink. Solid feel for control
for his age. Potential above-average offering.
Slider: 82-86 mph. Throws frequently. Flashed
bat-missing potential in his pro debut. Pitch is more vertical
than horizontal and at its best shows depth and late bite.
Potential above-average offering. |

Changeup: 85-88 mph. Adopted a kick-changeup in 2025. Has taken very well
to the pitch, which already shows good movement and flashes
bat-missing ability. Potential above-average offering.
Career Notes:
DSL All-Star in 2024. Traded to Boston for Cam Booser after the
latter was designated for assignment in December 2024. Impressed
in the FCL in stateside and Red Sox organization debut, earning
a quick promotion to Low-A Salem after just over a month of FCL
play.
Summation: Intriguing starting
pitching prospect who already shows a four-pitch arsenal with an
athletic, sturdy frame. High-variance arm given how far away he
is, but will flash two average-or-better secondary offerings and
has a pair of fastballs that continue to trend up velocity-wise.
Changeup took a major step forward in 2025 and looks like a
potential bat-missing pitch. Has some pedigree, having received
a $400k bonus, and showed an intriguing skillset in his
professional debut with the White Sox. Was identified by
multiple scouts as the best pitcher on the Red Sox FCL team in
2025.
