Comments:
Lefty with avg FB and funky deliv. Large build. strong. Generic lefty frame. Looks to be phys.
mature. Herky jerky deliv. Quick tempo. Exaggerated up down and out w/front leg with several
pauses along the way. Deceptive in back with hid ball and flappy glove arm out front. Arm drops
stiffly down leg out of glove. Delivery not esp. conducive to improved control. Has some hair on
avg FB. Sits @ 89. Not a lot of strikes but misses bats when he gets it over plate. Straight but
with hard downward dive. CV is of the hd to ft break variety. Drops early out of hand. Loc. not
good. Gets under below avg CH. Comes out of hand nicely with smooth A/A. Command causes it
to play down and leave it up. @ his best he's effectively wild, @ worst he'll walk guys on 4 in a
row. Ability to notch K's and miss bats with avg FB from left side makes him intriguing. Don't see
control being good enuf to make him a big leaguer. Quality 4A bullpen arm.
