Long arm action, high 3/4's to over the top arm action, good arm speed and loose coming through. Fastball topped out at 84 mph, was up to 86 mph this summer, mostly straight with an idea how to spot it to both sides of the plate. Curveball was his best pitch, hard spin with good bite and depth, commanded curveball very well. Developing change up. Has an idea how to pitch and work hitters. Very projectable young arm. Right handed hitter, good swing mechanics, moves into contact and swings hard, has some bat speed with a nice direct path to the ball, hard line drive mid field contact. Interesting young athlete who should continue to improve with additional strength. Excellent student.
