Falls to the glove side at release, with a long arm action in the back and developing arm speed from an over the top slot. Creates some angle to the fastball at 58-61 miles per hour, generating some running action at times. Can land a curveball with big shape and some depth for strikes in the low-50s. Two-pitch mix can get soft contact and outs. Good student.
