Showed very good, athletic actions with good footwork and smooth, repeatable mechanics. Strong arm with good accuracy that topped at 86 MPH. On the mound, throws from high 3/4 slot with a deliberately-paced delivery. Gets downhill well and works down in the zone with a straight fastball in the 81-82 MPH range. Showed a curveball and changeup as well. CB shows solid spin and shape in the high 60's, topping at 69. Arm stiffens a bit on changeup, which worked in the 70-72 MPH range. Very good student.
