Slow paced simple turn and throw delivery, full arm action in back coming to a high 3/4's release point, good downhill plane, still working on repeating mechanics. Consistent low 80's fastball, topped out at 83 mph, fastball has consistent life both cutting and running depending on location, will drop his arm slot on fastball at times and spin off. Change up is a very nice pitch with arm speed and feel, can throw more often. Tends to dip front shoulder hard on curveball and cast with soft spin, threw lots of curveballs this outing and it was his third best pitch by far. Developing consistency will be the key in his development. 7.27 runner, good athlete who has some two-way ability.
