Physical Description:
Undersized with minimal remaining projection. Athletic, moves
well on the mound.
Mechanics: Throws
from a three-quarters arm slot starting on the first base side
of the rubber. Good extension. Medium leg kick. Controlled
delivery. Short arm action with a hook behind. Deception in
delivery, hides the ball behind his body.
Fastball: 92-94 mph. Tops out at 96 mph. Velocity drops
and control wanes as he works deeper into games. Pitch has
characteristics teams look for, including solid induced vertical
break. Command and control need work. Tends to miss down with
the fastball when he tries to get more velocity. Can be wild at
times and walks too many hitters. Potential average pitch.
Cutter: 87-89 mph. Short, horizontal break.
Pitch that he added and threw a few times late in 2023 and
really refined during the following offseason. Already showing
solid feel and confidence in it and has developed into something
he uses as his primary east/west offering. Didn’t throw in
outing scouted as a starter in 2025. Potential fringe-average
pitch.
Changeup: 85-87 mph. Throws with
the same arm speed as his fastball. Shows drop and fade.
Advanced feel and confidence. Capable of missing bats against
right-handed hitters. Potential average pitch.
Slider: 82-85 mph. Sweeper-ish breaking ball with
horizontal break. Good movement profile in conjunction with his
north/south fastball/changeup combination. Can struggle to
locate it and gets on the side of it too often. Potential
fringe-average pitch. |
|
Curveball: 74-80 mph. Long, 1-to-7 shape. Will
throw on occasion with some depth. Inconsistent release. More of
a chase pitch than one he lands in the zone. Potential
below-average pitch.
Career Notes:
Attended three different colleges during his three years of
college baseball. Started at Southeast Louisiana before
transferring to Division III Jones College and eventually ending
up at Southern Mississippi. Participated in the 2021 Cape Cod
League. Was set to participate in the 2022 Fall Performance
Program that was canceled due to Hurricane Ian. Participated in
the 2023 Fall Performance Program. Named to 2024 Spring Breakout
roster.
Summation:
Potential left-handed organizational arm. Ceiling of a
multi-inning depth arm. Fastball and changeup are intriguing,
but improving his command and control and developing consistency
with his secondary pitches are keys for him to reach his
potential. Not overpowering, so will have to locate on the
edges. Undersized and his stuff and command tend to degrade as
the game goes on. Stuff grades out well analytically and is
appealing for model-driven teams. Likely will have to move to
the bullpen to reach his potential as his stuff lacks the
quality to start.
