Dec 2020 Report

Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 UDFA
RuleV: 2023
Physical Description: Very athletic frame at 6'2", 187 pounds. Started Friday nights for Miami ahead of two 2020 draftees (Slade Cecconi and Chris McMahon). Has projection remaining to his frame. Had Tommy John prior to arriving at Miami, has transformed himself into a very competitive arm.
Delivery & Mechanics: Pitches from a three-quarters arm slot from first base side of the rubber. High leg kick, pitches downhill well. Very good at repeating his delivery. Good pitchability.
Fastball: Not an overpowering pitch. Velocity sat 89-92 MPH in college and topped out at 93 MPH with some late movement to the pitch. Likely will see velocity uptick with added strength, but likely to only be an average offering. Grade: 50
Curveball: Inconsistent pitch that lags behind his change-up. Gets loopy at times, but he can locate it for strikes. Refinement is needed. Grade: 40
Changeup: Easily his best secondary offering. Pairs well with the fastball and generates a solid amount of swings and misses. Circle change-up grip, thrown for strikes, and has good fade and sink to it. Has potential to be a plus offering, but is above average right now. Grade: 55
Control and Command: Throws a ton of strikes, only walked 22 hitters at Miami across two seasons. Pitches around the zone very well, controls the strike zone. Likely to be an above-average asset down the line. Control: 55 | Command: 50
Overall: Refinement of his curveball will be key to how he progresses. He's shown to be a very competitive pitcher at Miami and likely will replicate it with Boston. Chances to start will rely on development of third pitch.
