Worked around the ball well and could change his slot. Footwork stood out and has a great idea out there. Was up to 84 from across the diamond. Also pitched throwing from a mid 3/4 slot with good arm speed from a whippy arm. Clean delivery to the plate with good balance. Fastball worked up to 82 with late tailing life.
