Got some whiffs with the curveball during his outing. Also showed a changeup with good depth, looking splitter-like with the depth and spin profile. A right-handed hitter with a wider base and an inverted front foot. The hands are set high, and the back elbow is up. He has some quickness to the bat, with a deep hand load and hard stride through contact. Compact hand speed with a synced-up load. He worked back up the middle during his round pretty well and was able to work pull-side toward the end of his round of BP swings as well. Also worked out as an infielder with some quickness to his arm stroke, being accurate across the diamond. Threw from a higher slot at 79 mph across. The backhand was clean with good glovework. Showed a smooth funnel during the round and had some strength to his actions.
