Body: tall, angular frame; wide features, long arms, sloped shoulders with athletic, loose hang over tapered lower half
Delivery: side-steps into abbreviated semi-wind; short, crouched leg kick at the top; back side swings around and pulls off-line through release
Arm Action: deep hand-break, rigid, in-line circle in the back; unusual arm-path, pushes ball, hooks arm behind body, pushes the ball with short-arm; plus arm speed, whip to three-quarter slot, moderate recoil at finish |

90-94 |
95 |
Easy velocity, flashes of above-average late sink, late life, additional projection remaining; below-average command, most strikes caught lots of plate |
| Curveball |
50 |
81 |
83 |
Three-quarter shape, slurvy-type breaker, stiffer arm action, trouble snapping it off with tight spin consistently; most show fair spin and in-between shape, will snap off occasional true curve with depth |
| Changeup |
50 |
83 |
86 |
Flashes hard, split-like finish to arm-side, inconsistent movement, limited feel to land for strikes; shorter-exposure 'pen usage could play pitch up a tick |
| Control |

|
|
Athleticism and loose movement give some room to make mechanical/control adjustments, but could pitch with 40-grade control without improvements to current strike-throwing |
|
Physical athlete with arm speed and a plus fastball, flashes two average secondary pitches in starting role. Candidate to move to bullpen if high-effort delivery and poor control remain unchanged. Extreme risk starter; 23-year-old in Low-A, arm-strength thrower who can fight his mechanics. Still loses the zone regularly, could stall in mid-minors due to lack of pitchability. Has big-league ingredients, there's just a lot that still needs to come together.
Ceiling: Regular ML Middle-Relief
Realistic: 4A Depth; Upper-Minors contributor
