Consistently throws a 2 seam cutter 88-92 mph
Has been clocked at 93 on the 2 seam
Does not throw a 4 seam but could run that up 95 mph
Has a nasty changeup at 79 mph
Has a nasty 12 to 6 curve
Has a devastating backdoor slider
Very hard to get big hits on because he locates extremely well with all of his pitches.
Throws about 60 to 70% strikes to balls when factoring in foul balls.
Not affraid to throw big breaking pitches even on 3-2 count because of the high number that land for call strike.
Great poise on the mound.

Because he is a late bloomer and did not attend National showcases very little is known about him at the national level.
