  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Small, compact frame. No remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from three-quarters arm slot, starting on the third base side of the rubber. Deceptive delivery with a slight trunk twist and medium leg kick. Quick arm action.

Fastball: 92-94 mph. Late sinking action. Gets on hitters quick and has shown bat-missing ability. Potential average offering.

Cutter: Added during the 2024 season.

Changeup: 88-90 mph. Firm, two-seamish pitch with arm-side run. Effective as a change-of-pace pitch. Potential average offering.

Sweeper: 80-82 mph. Long, sweepy shape. Lacks depth. Potential fringe-average offering.
  Career Notes: Graduate transfer from Brown. Did not pitch during the COVID-shortened 2020 season due to injury nor during the 2021 season because the Ivy League did not play. A starter at Brown, worked out of the bullpen at UConn. First Team All-Big East in his one season at UConn, tying the program record for appearances. Missed the start of the 2025 season with shoulder tightness. Underwent Tommy John surgery in July 2025.

Summation: Potential organizational reliever. Attackers hitters and has shown the ability to miss bats with all three pitches. High-floor, low-ceiling type. As long as he can consistently throw strikes, should be able to move up to the upper minors pretty quickly.
