  Scouting Report & Links      
         
  Physical Description: Extra-large frame with minimal remaining projection.

Mechanics: Throws from a three-quarters arm slot. Starts on the first base side of the rubber. Quick arm. High leg kick. Clean arm action behind. Short strider.

Fastball: 91-95 mph. Topped out at 97 in college. Threw the pitch more than 80 percent of the time in 2025. Has intriguing characteristics and missed bats at a high rate in college. Pitch has life up in the zone with IVB above 20 inches at times.

Slider: 81-85 mph. More tilt than depth. Struggled to land consistently.

Curveball: 75-79 mph. Pitch has solid depth. Used sparingly, but flashed bat-missing ability when he did use it.

Changeup: 82-85 mph. Rarely used in college. Struggled to miss bats and land in the zone.		   Career Notes: Broke a single-season strikeout record for his high school previously co-held by Dodgers right-hander Dustin May. Spent two seasons at Brown prior to transferring to Wofford for his junior year. Was named to the 2025 All-Southern Conference Second Team.

Summation: Right-hander with a big frame and intriguing fastball characteristics. Fastball succeeds due to shape more than velocity and was able to get by in college throwing the pitch more than 80 percent of the time. Secondaries are a major work in progress and need considerable refinement to find at least one that he is confident enough in to throw. Pitched out of the bullpen in college and seems like someone who will continue to develop there due to his fastball-heavy arsenal.

Note: This page will be updated with a complete scouting report after the scouting team has seen the player in person.
