06.20.18 5 feet 10, 183-pound build. Strong lower half with some athleticism present. Good feel for his body. Threw only from the stretch with some him and shoulder turn during an abbreviated leg lift, working slightly across his body to the plate. Good extension over the front side. Long arm action, throwing from a high ¾ slot. Average arm speed that tends to increase as he gained feel for his release throughout the outing. Fastball sits at 79-83 mph, topping at 84 mph with run to his arm side at times. Commands fastball best to his arm side but shows ability to get it to his glove side. Elevated early, settled to create some angle on the fastball. Fastball seemed to jump on hitters, especially when up in the zone. Near fastball arm speed with his change-up, working around the zone. Change has fade at 74-76 mph with some feel for locating to the arm side. Big arcing curveball with 1/7 tilt at 64-67 mph. More chase than command with the breaker. Works with similar hand speed to the fastball but the window tends to shift to a slightly lower area out of the hand. More feel for change than curveball right now but does show the ability to spin the ball. Chance to work with three pitches, allowing some projection to continue to work front end of games. Fastball should have growth as the arm continues to quicken.
