Physical Description: Average
frame with no remaining projection.
Mechanics:
Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot. Drop-and-drive
delivery. Medium leg kick and long arm swing behind. Gets good
extension towards the plate.
Fastball:
91-93 mph. Pitch shows sink and some tail, and induces a lot of
groundballs. Lacks life and bat-missing ability. Potential
fringe-average offering.
Splitter: 81-83
mph. Pitch shows drop and fade. Good separation from fastball
and will flash bat-missing ability. Potential average offering.
Slider: 84-85 mph. Two-plane movement.
Induces flyballs. Potential below-average offering.

Career
Notes: Attended 4 schools in 4 years, including D-II
Cal State Monterey Bay, the College of San Mateo (a JuCo),
Tennessee, and D-II Embry-Riddle before signing with Houston as
a 28th-round pick in 2015. Released out of camp in 2016, pitched
in the independent Frontier League before signing with the
Dodgers that August. Was released again after that season and
pitched for two teams in the independent Atlantic League in 2017
and the start of 2018, signing with the Mets in June 2018. After
roughly 2.5 months in Low-A, became a minor league free agent
and signed with Seattle. In 2019, pitched well in Double-A
before finally getting a major league cup of coffee. Struggled
in limited major league time in 2020 and signed with the Red Sox
as a minor league free agent that offseason. Received a
non-roster invitation to Spring Training in 2021, suffering an
arm injury in his first appearance. Opened 2021 on the injured
list at the Alternate Training Site. Was only healthy for one
month of the 2021 season, from early June to early July, before
suffering a season-ending injury.
Summation:
Projects as a minor league depth arm. Lack of command and
control limits upside, but has intriguing pitch characteristics.
A team that dedicates time to refining his pitch mix and finding
the right role for him might find a major league contributor.
Has never been in one organization for more than two years.
