Fastball topped out at 94 mph, maintained velocity very well with good life down in the zone from a 3/4's arm slot, throws his fastball for strikes to both sides of the plate. Hand position curveball, will flash tight spin but still developing consistency and feel. Very young senior with a limited pitching background, formally a primary basketball player from Cuba.
