Oakland in the tenth round in 2021. Pitched in one game in the
Arizona Complex League that season, then missed most of the 2022

in 2023. Released by Oakland in May 2024 after 4 games in
High-A. Signed with Boston in June 2024. Solid showing in the
FCL and with Salem in 2024 during his age 21 season. Pitched for
Cangrejeros de Santurce in the Puerto Rican Winter League during

Profiles as a mid-minors depth arm with some promising
characteristics. Ceiling of an organizational starter. Needs to
show out at an age-appropriate level. Secondaries are both a
work in progress.
