Also pitched, worked exclusively out of the stretch, short slide step coming down the mound, compact arm action through the backside with a tight release, creates some running life to fastball and worked up to 83 mph. Quadrupled up on curveball to start an at-bat, up to 66 mph with 11-5 shape, worked around the zone. Left-handed hitter, begins with a slightly open stance with a high hand set and back elbow at the plate.
