| Starter's mechanics; low-maintenance and balanced operation. Upbeat SWU, high leg lift, consistent extension getting upper-half over landing leg. Arm works well overall through a nearly-OT slot. |

4sm fastball 91-94, consistently gets downhill; 2sm fastball 89-91, running armside action, used vs. LHHs. Commands well to lower quadrants with good feel to mix FBs, plays up avg raw velocity. Projecting half-grade up as pitchability/command improve. |

CB plays as an avg offering pitch-to-pitch, flashing swing-and-miss action at best. Consistent 11-5 shape; 55-grade bottoming action on best breakers--especially at higher velocity range. |

Shows more straight-down drop on CH than more traditional circle-CH action. Leans on CH more heavily the first time through a lineup. Able to get outs w/ CH against both RHHs and LHHs. |

Back-pocket 4th pitch is a SL which plays as a second-look off the CB. Fair gloveside tilt at present w/ chance to get to avg if he works it in more frequently. |
|
A deep mix of 4-5 average pitches with good ability to fill the zone and change speeds. Impressive pitching IQ, sequencing pitches differently when the lineup turned over. Frame, delivery, and stuff of a reliable lower-rotation starter. High interest, likely a late 2016 debut.
