Primary righthanded pitcher, begins delivery with a leg lift up past belt and gets tall on back side, some drop and drive in lower half through release Compact arm action through the back, works to a three-quarters release, stays short at release, on line stride with balance. Fastball topped out at 74 mph, throws strikes and induces ground ball contact with short running life. Can work in, feel for curveball developed flashing 12-6 shape at times. Similar short arm action from the outfield, deliberate tempo to actions, upright at release, clean transfer and funnel, getting on top of throws consistency will help with carry.
